    Thanks for the bit about not mixing them. Last time I went to buy last year their was a shortage of bromine so I bought chlorine. I'm mabout to buy more again and was thinking of switching. But since I would have to drain and clean the lines I might just wait. I add chlorine to my hot tub every other day though! If I try to add extra to make it last longer its like shock level chlorine. I only have it set at 95 deg.

    If you are not to mix chlorine and bromine in water, how do you explain 1-bromo-3-chloro tablets and dichlor enhance MPS shocks?

    • @keithlegg7681

      You can use chlorine shock with a bromine system. You just have to run the jets for a while and only mix them in the water , not dry. Read up on it and use common sense

      @@keithlegg7681 I did this and my test strips (which don't differentiate between chlorine and bromine levels) are reading like the chlorine/bromine levels are very high. I can find all sorts of articles that explain this issue, but none of them explain what I should do from here. Any suggestions?

    How about liquid chlorine? Is it safe to use in a hot tub ? On fb everyone suggest to use it since using dichlor causes the cya to shoot up to quickly. And frog ease doesn’t seem to last long enough to be cost effective. So I’m considering a mineral stick with spamarvel then using liquid chlorine to maintain.5 ppm chlorine. I have a jacuzzi j-385 by the way

    Wait… if it’s that dangerous, and they can’t even be stored next to each other, is it dangerous to move from swimming in a chlorine pool to a bromine hot tub or vice versa?

    I set up my above ground pool with 6300 gallons of water last week and am floating bromine tablets (didn’t have chlorine tablets yet but had a 5 gallon bucket of bromide tablets for my spa. Have I ruined my pool? Do I have to drain all the water to start with clorine? Or can I just let it leach away.?

      @@W1ldt1m can I take out the bromide tablets from my new (1 week old) above ground pool and switch to chlorine without changing the water? It’s a sand filter. The sand filter will be upgraded in a week to the bigger one if that’s useful. I didn’t have chlorine tablets at setup so my son just put several bromide tablets in the floater.

    If my hot tub uses a uv light to sanitize should I say away from using bromine because the uv light will burn it off faster or does the uv light have no effect?

    Note that all the Disney parks use bromine for their water attractions as the chloramines are much more "fragrant" than the bromamines are and can be distracting.

    Ha no, add new water and floating bromine is all you need. Don’t fall for the spa trap.
