I tested my hot tub water today, it was bottomed out on chlorine. So I added some, noting that I usually put too little in, and I overdid it. Now it’s all the way on the other end of the test strip, maxed out (and it took the bromine from bottomed out to maxed out as well). What can I do?
- overdosed spa with chlorine
- What do you do if you put to much chlorine in your hot tub
- what to do if hot tuc has too much chlorine
- add too much chlorine to hot tub
- bromine high in hot tub and none now
- can hot tub with too much chlorine hurt you
- put chlorine concentrate into hot tub how long before I retest
- too much chlorine and broming in hot tub
- will too much chlorine hurt you

It won’t hurt anything except your clothes…but if you want to consume excess Cl, remove your thermal cover for a day and let the sun get in. If you retest it after that and it’s still off the charts, partially drain the tub and refill with fresh water
Don’t wear colored swim suites for a couple days. You don’t wear any?! no problem. The chlorine overdose one time won’t hurt anything.
maybe let water run into it for a while, let it over flow, til the levels even out.
take care

You have me confused. With my hot tub, I use bromine and I don’t use chlorine. You use one or the other but not both. The test strips are for either bromine or chlorine.
You can drain out about 1/2 of the water and refill it with fresh water. I would also get with a hot tub store and get straightened out on what chemicals to add. I have found that I can get away with mainly only adding baking soda to keep my total alkalinity where it should be and the PH level. Every now and then, I’ll add a little defoamer to keep the bubbles down. That’s about it. My water is always clear. good luck.
maybe add more water or if it is outside just don’t add anymore until the level drops the sun will eat the chlorine fast.
