Chlorine readings in new tub fill and start up chemistry

First off congrats on the switch to chlorine and it’s great to hear it is compatible with your skin. I had the exact same thing switching from bromine. All you read is how bromine is easier on the skin and such but I hardly ever hear of people going the other way.

The thing that got me thinking about chlorine is we used it a lot on the dairy farm for cleaning bottles and such. I remember putting hot water a little Dawn soap and a cup or two of bleach in the sink. People were scrubbing away getting that on them and no problems. That’s like 1000 times as strong or more as a hot tub. Looking back it was also crazy overkill.

Hot tubs are kind of behind the curve I agree. They are luxury products and they are all about fancy on the outside and keeping the cost down on the inside.

Salt generated chlorine IMO is the way to go and the tubs that offer it made it expensive to buy and expensive to maintain. Almost so it would appeal to wealthy people.

My plan is still to buy a Saltron-mini. I have been talking about it for a year and have tested salt in my tub for several fills. Now I just have to do it.
