Hot tub water

20 years ago

Hi. I have a hot tub that uses bromine as a sanitizer instead of clorine. When I clean it out and replace the water, can I use it to water my garden? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the info. We only use bromine, and sometimes baking soda if the ph gets a little off. We seem to be able to keep it pretty level. I appreciate your help.

Heating Greenhouse w/ Hot Tub Heat??

I still think the only way this would work (aside from having the hot tub in the green house, would be to capture lost heat. Now my hot tub is very well insulated, especialy above the tub. My hot tub is a self contained tub, the heater is contained in the tub enclosure. But I think this method would work even better with an inground hot tub. Idealy, if the hot tub is not installed yet, you could build an inground hot tub (the heater is seperate with an inground hot tub). Install the just the heater inside the greenhouse. Otherwise, the place I have found the most Waste heat with my Tub, is above the heater. So hputting some sort of heat exchanger above the heater to capture the heat lost from the heater would work very well.

14gpg * 17.1 = 239ppm. That really isn't that hard, and can be compensated for by adjusting the TA. I don't recommend salt for portable tubs because a lot of the equipment is stainless, and the salt destroys stainless.

An SWG doesn't replace the need for Chlorine, it creates the Chlorine. You did correctly by shocking the hot tub with bleach. That is perfect. But after shocking I would recommend draining, cleaning the filters out very well and then filling and rebalancing with salt. Do not add peroxide or other flushing kits.. You should also test to make sure that the SWG is producing the correct CL levels. Also I would recommend buying a second set of filters and then rotating them regularly and letting the other set sit out in the sun while the second set is being used. That is a great way to keep everything clean as possible.

I have the same and use it in the garden. However, we keep the bromine level at the lowest we can get away with and still maintain the tub. Never had a problem-but i do rotate the area I dump the water in so one area never repeatedly receives all the tub water.

Is there a time of year that hot tubs/spas go on sale? My husband and I fell in love with with a Sundance Spa on a vacation in the GA mountains. We've cleared a space on our lower deck but want to get the best value. We liked the Bull frog and the Hot Springs line but would love some comments.
THANKS!

I know ccrl posted this years ago...but perhaps she will get an email alert and get the message that I have replied. We've had 2 hot tubs / spas and are shopping now for one. Sundance is the brand we are considering, so I thought it would be good if ccrl connected so I could share my experiences w/ two brands and she could let us know if she got a Sundance (and if so, how she likes it!)
