Hot Tub Chemicals: Bromine vs Chlorine, Which is safe?



Me and my wife always enjoyed relaxing in a hot tub after a nerve wracking stressful day. But of late we started noticing that every time we come out of the Hot tub my skin smells nasty chemicals. We tried out lots of shower gels and after shower gels but the smell was lingering on my skin. This was still a small problem to deals with, soon we found out that my wife's skin is getting dry and itchy. She started noticing some red rashes on her skin. We visited my dermatologist and were advised not to go to hot tub. The reason was the harmful chemicals like bromine and chlorine used in the spas to treat the hot tub water for pH balance and alkalinity to keep it safe and microbe free. Her skin was reacting to these hot tub chemicals

Soon I started researching on which chemical is best for treating hot tubs: Bromine vs chlorine? Chemically, they are closely related, being next to each other on the periodic table.  But they react differently in hot water.

Chlorine has a very short life in hot water; you have to add some every day, depending on how often you use your hot tub. The moment you add chlorine to hot water it kills germs and bacteria, within an hour.

Bromine, on the other hand, acts differently and works slowly and is very stable in hot water.. When you add bromine in the water, it’ll work for many hours, killing germs and bacteria.  Bromine will wake back up with some non-chlorine shock once a week and get back to work. This means that although the price on a bottle of bromine is higher than chlorine, you won't end up using much.

To my dismay I found that both chlorine and bromine equally harm on our skin and my wife's skin responded equally to both these chemicals. And not to forget the gas harmful gas these chemicals produce making you sick.

Then I found out this amazing product The Natural Solution, a 100% natural effective treatment for hot tubs to keep its water clean, clear and fresh. And one bottle works for 3 months. This leaves your skin silky smooth and rash free. My family has been using it for many years now. With the kind of response I got I decided to share my experience with everyone.
