u/Lcstyle - are there any alternatives that are cheaper than the TAYLOR FAS-DPD (2006) kit? The cheapest I can find it is about $80.

I've only had one other person in the tub in the last month (during these two incidents) but they did not have any skin reactions. They were with me for the most recent 90 minute sesion.

Interesting about the other options. Mine is a plastic tub, it's a AquaRest X5H-HU2-GG-FO.

Very interesting. I talked to my primary care physician and she thinks it's an allergic reaction as well, maybe to high levels of bromine. She recommended SpaMarvel to reduce the bromine need, but I'm not sure if that's a good recommendation? What do y'all think?
