AI Thread Summary
Neutralizing chlorine in a hot tub before use is a concern for many users who want to avoid skin irritation from chemicals. One suggested method is using sodium thiosulfate, which is commonly employed to remove chlorine from fish tanks and is considered safe. While this approach may help reduce chlorine exposure, its effectiveness for skin health remains uncertain. Users express a desire for affordable purification alternatives, as many existing options are seen as cost-prohibitive. The discussion highlights the importance of balancing sanitation with user comfort in hot tub maintenance.

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
