That’s hilarious!
I often embarrass my kids when I remove my wet suit & go with only the robe when I get out of the tub & then hang out on the patio a while (I do this under a towel btw as I do have a couple neighbors)
I just tell them its my back yard - if someone doesn’t like it they can leave or they shouldn’t look same thing when I get hot outside doing yard work & go down to the skivies to cool off in the pool real quick.
You should see their little tween faces! Sheer horror, as if one of their friends might see me or something.
I have been snuck up on by the meter reader a few times- its right by my hot tub. Luckily I was never in the thick of it. Unfortunately his job became obsolete so I don’t see him anymore.

I read this quickly at first and was wondering why you were wearing a wetsuit in your hot tub.

Technically you ain’t wrong

Thank you all for your responses. I have used bromine alone successfully for over a decade but when we moved and set up a new spa (same model as before), we started doing the bromine/chlorine regimen outlined on this web site. Will try slight increases in CH as suggested by several of you. If that doesn’t work, will try switching to chlorine only (and ozonator) at next water change. Again, thank you all for reaching out with your suggestion.
