I stopped treating my hot tub with with Halogens (bromine, chlorie and the like) and went to Hyrdogen Peroxide. It is so awesome that I had to share... If you have a tub and hate the chemicals, then check out Google, or let me know and I can give a crash course. Well worth the time and one of the better things that I did lately.

Test strips were cheap on eBay. Mad Farmer Oxygenator is 35% H2O2 - I got it at a hydroponics store in Greeley. They have it at more places.

I might suggest that you drain the tub and refill.

When I get my hot tub, I will run ozone and shock with calcium hydrochloride once per week and potassium monopersulfate after each use. That way, when I am soaking in the hot tub! I am not soaking in any chemicals. The calcium hydrochloride burns off completely in about 8 hours.

Sounds complicated I add a bottle of the stuff I use every 3 months and never touch it. No chemicals all natural.

Calcium Hypochlorite will leave chlorine ions behind and even cause calcium deposits in your tub if you don't change the water very often and use it a lot. It is a hard-core chlorinator. It can rapidly dissipate in sunlight in short time, like in pools, but unless you use your Hot Tub in the daytime a lot, it will for-sure stick around. Did you perhaps mean another chemical that you add that is all gone in 8 hours?

The H2O2 is similar to the MPS except you leave water behind instead of sulfate and potassium ions.

What is this once-every-three-months natural stuff? I am interested.
