Hi
I have a jaccuzi (I think you guys call them hot tubs) which I have had for a year or so, and I have been using the chemicals bought from the supplier (bromine and ph reducer).
I am now having problems getting more supplies of bromine (southern Spain) and so was wondering if it would be sensible to change to using chorine which is more freely available.
Any comments or advice would be most appreciated
It's not the falling down that matters, it's that you get up again

| Chlorine will recharge the bromine so it will be neccessary to drain all of the bromine water first.

Since I posted the original question I was told that bromine is better for hot tubs because the water gets hot and that chlorine isn't suitable to use with hot water..
..is there any truth in this? Does anyone know

| Yes it is true, chlorine burns off at about 37c and usally spa pools are between 36c and 42c
