Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Does anyone on here or anyone you know have a hot tub and not use chemicals? We are getting a hot tub shortly and I do NOT want to use chemicals at all--not to mention it will be in a sunroom which is inside the house and I will NOT be smelling those chemicals all the time. There are non-chemical systems i've seen on the internet but don't know which ones are reputable. I cannot use colloidal silver because my son is allergic to silver. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? I would really really appreciate it. Thanks you all. Marci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi Marci, I don't have one myself but when I was a kid my parents had an ionizer or something like that for their hot tub. I believe it involves less chemicals rather than none - at least that is what someone told me at a hot tub store recently. I'm not sure though as I remember my dad telling me to use the hot tub water for our tropical fish and they seemed to do very well with it, so I am thinking there wasn't any. You'll want to make sure you get something good in place as it can be difficult to regulate bacteria, etc. in hot tub water even with chemicals.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi all, Food grade hydrogen peroxide is also an effective alternative. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Marci, We just switched from chemicals to 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide and so far so good. It does not do anything for lime buildup or scale so you will have to keep an eye on that. Our tub came with a five year warranty and I assume that if they know that we are not using their chemicals it could void that warranty. I tried every non chlorine product out there and each was worse than the last. Not to be graphic but,,,,I would get such horrible rashes on my legs that I would not be able to go in the tub again for 2 - 3 weeks. Then my husband started the same thing so I searched for something different. This is where we got it from. Good Luck and if you find anything better please share. http://www.purehealthsystems.com/hydrogen-peroxide-pool-spa.html Thanks Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi Marci, I know exactly what you mean. I hate pools and hot tubs that use chlorine, yuk, it makes your skin feel like its crawling. I have also vowed when I finally make a swimming pool it has to chemical free or its just not worth it. Until then I just use the ocean, hahaha. But that idea got me thinking about the excellent preservative & nutritional qualities of sea salt. Not the industrial by-product table salt, but pure sea salt. Here is a link from our site about sea salt, be sure to read the " more info " its loaded with tons of good info http://www.sensatia.com/bath_en/sea_salt/unrefined_organic.php Anyway I thought I would make this suggestion, though I don't really know anyone that has used just sea salt, but surely there must be someone that has done this. It would be a really great thing for your body if it were possible. I am sure there are companies in the states selling big sacks of sea salt if you find someone with experience in this matter. Good luck. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Michael Lorenti www.sensatia.com --- Marci <twilli55 wrote: > Does anyone on here or anyone you know have a hot > tub and not use > chemicals?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I did hear of a sea salt pool recently (saw it in a real estate listing actually!) so maybe there are sea salt hot tubs. That would really be great!!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Teresa, That is really a great idea! Our hot tub has an ionizer which reduces the need for chemicals so I wonder how much to use? How much do you use and how often? I actually take H2O2 baths from time to time with a cup in a bath so after reading it is very diluted in a hot tub. I've seen several non-chemical things on the internet but was afraid of exactly what happened to you!! You never know but I trust h202 more than most anything!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 White vinager is good for lime scale buildup and soap. We used that in the laundrymat a worked at to remove the soap and scale in the washing machines. I use it here at home with baking soda to open stuck drains.
