Hot Tub Shock After Each Use
Baleklocoon:
I am running a Jacuzzi J-315 with UV and Ozone. I'm starting to read that I should shock my hot tub after each use (I use every day). If I shock after each use, so every 24 hours give or take. Is there a real need for me to continue using my bromine tablets?

UV, Ozone or shock are not sanitizers.
You need bromine/chlorine as a sanitizer.....i'm not familiar with bromine tablets but you definitely need some sort of sanitizer active in the tub.

I use 1" bromine tabs in a floater with a mineral stick and shock with dichlor every few days.
Baleklocoon:
I guess what I was thinking is, if I shock after every use, that should completely sanitize everything. How much bacteria is going to grow after the shock, with no organic matter being introduced, in 24 hours prior to my next use? My reason for asking is I think it would be nice to shock with chlorine after each use, then all the chlorine will likely be gone before my next use, and I can enjoy a chemical free hot tub before I shock it again.

What are you using as a shock? DiChlor then fine....but MPS is not a sanitizer.
