Are there are any household products to lower the bromine levels in a hot tub?

Question

Ok so lets say I need to lower the bromine levels in the tub in a hurry (say under an hour), is there anything I can add to neutralize the levels so my skin doesn't burn? My housemate peed in it one time and that seemed to work but I'd like a better alternative for obvious reasons...

Answer 1

The others are correct in diluting the water.  The chemical you can pick up at any Store that carries BioguarBio guarduaspa Pool/Spa chemicals is Sodium Thiosulfate.  It will neutralize Chlorine and Bromine.  There's no household chemical.  Your skin is most likely itching due to improper pH levels.

Answer 2

go to your pool place i think there is neutralizer out there

Answer 3

drain half the water out

Answer 4

the best way to lower the concentration of ANY chemical in your pool/spa, is DILUTION.  Grab a big bucket, and fill it up a few times.  dump it into the toilet (if hauling water outside isn't an option).

put a hose in it and refill.  Honestly, this is the QUICKEST way to do it.
