can i use liquid pool chlorine in a hot tub?

I have a 500 gallon hot tub and i use liquid pool chlorine in the hot tub. I am on a well that has high ph to start. the problem i am having is that the ph is always extremly high in the hot tub. any thought? ant better ideas? the only chemicals i use is ph reducer and liquid chlorine.
Why do people use bromine?

liquid chlorine is fine, but it too has a high pH. Trichlor (comes in tablet form) has a low pH and may be helpful to counteract the well water, but has strong fumes. Lithium is more pH neutral, as is Dichlor – but more expensive.

Bromine is a good sanitizer if you desire less fumes (strong odor). It is best used indoors or under a cover since it is quickly degraded by sunlight. It has a higher pH also. Excellent for covered spas.

It is always good to drain and refill the spa if used often.
