I have been using frog ease system chlorine for 2 years but recently the chlorine has really been hard on my skin having bad itching and reactions.  Tried emptying refilling and cleaning tub. Tried a conditioner to tone down chemicals  That did not work.  Any thoughts on using Bromine instead?  Otherwise I just cant use it anymore.   thanks

Folliculitis... also known as hot tub rash? Purge spa plumbing with a line purge like Ahh-some to remove bio-film build up in the lines.

Michael,
Please report back with the results with pictures of what AHH!some purge releases from your spa, given the skin irritations you have been experiencing. I am a newbie awaiting my new Bullfrog spa delivery this week, but will be doing a purge with Ahh-Some - Hot Tub Cleaner Sachet | Clean Pipes & Jets Gunk Build Up | Clear & Soften Water for Hot Tub --Amazon-- $9.95

If I had your situation, I would DEFINITELY do two purge cycles with AHH!some for peace of mind and the best chance of curing the issue. My 2 cents. ;o)

If you do two purge cycles, please post pics of what residue, if any, you get from the second. It would be excellent to see what a second purge does!
Thanks,
Newbie Dave

What has been already been said. Do an Ahh-some purge. You might need to do more than 1 purge to make sure you get all the bio-film out.

Sorry to hear about your skin troubles with the chlorine. It sounds super annoying. If the conditioner didn't help, bromine could be worth a shot. It's gentler on the skin for some folks. Just make sure to read up on how to use it properly since it behaves a bit differently than chlorine. Good luck, hope it sorts out your itchiness!
