Question:
What is Nature2? I'm asking my skin's extremely sensitive to bromine.
One
hour in a hot tub or indoor pool and I end up with itchy spots all
over that
last for 2-3 weeks. Showering immediately afterward doesn't help.
Answer:
Nature2 is a cartridge (cost about $30) that you insert in your filter
and it releases copper or silver ions into the water which acts as a
constant sanitizer. You normally use it in conjunction with a
non-chlorine shock such as MPS (monopersulfate) which is added in small
quantities to the tub before each use. I was told you also add a very
small amount of regular chlorine (dichlor granules) once a week as well
to help keep the water clear.
There are also chemical systems for sanitization like BaquaSpa (or
something like that) that are not chlorine/bromine based that you may
want to look into.
Many people swear by Nature2 so that may be your best bet. You can look
at www.spadepot.com if you're interested in the different sanitizers
available or for some pricing ideas.
