How long should bromine tablets take to dissolve? Chlorine tablets, regardless of brand, all contain a chemical called Trichloroisocyanuric acid (or Trichlor for short). When used in an acrylic Hot Tub, it can cause severe damage to the shell – if the thermal cover isn’t removed for a few days to vent the gases given off by the tablet, severe bleaching of the plastic occurs. Many people find that chlorinated water causes reactions such as skin irritation (or “red eye”), and dryness of hair and nails, just as you may find at a public swimming pool. These effects are actually caused by the by-products of the chlorine breaking down contaminants in the water, and are a sign that the water ought to be refreshed, but parallels are drawn nonetheless. Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer to this question: it will depend on your own body and the convenience you’re seeking. It’s also important to note that there is no definitive answer to how often you’ll need to change the water in your hot tub, even if you are using chemicals. This will depend on factors such as:

Never get in a spa if the bromine levels are above 10 ppm, and ideally wait until they are in the 2-6 ppm range. A person may develop a rash shortly after sitting in a hot tub. In this case, the high temperature of the hot tub may have broken down the chlorine, allowing bacteria to grow in the water. If water disinfection, maintenance, and filtration of the pond are properly carried out, this procedure is normally very rare. We recommend changing your water ever three-four months depending on usage. We suggest that you use Happy Hot Tubs Flush or Clean Start pipe cleaner prior to emptying the hot tub.

However, swimmer’s itch can also cause tingling skin and a rash that looks like small red or purple pimples. When measuring bromine levels, the ideal range to aim for is 2-6 ppm (1-3 ppm is fine if your spa has an ozonator). Water can only be chemically maintained for so long before excess build-up occurs and it needs replacing. Impact on bathers is a consideration you will need to make when trying to decide between granules and tablets. Chlorine tablets are acidic which means when they are dissolving in your hot tub, they are influencing the PH and alkalinity levels. Poor water chemistry can cause irritation to the skin and eyes of bathers.
