I'm doing some quick math. 6 people in for 1 hour. I will need to add 21 oz. of bleach at 8% to consume the waste?Am I figuring this out correctly? If so, after adding 21 oz, how much time should elapse before (with jets running on full) it is safe to re-enter the water?

Great read, thanks. Question. If I start a new bath and use the correct proportion of sodium bromide vs water, can I accidentally over dose the bath thus making it unsafe by adding too much MPS/chlorine? I'm thinking that the starting dose of sodium bromide in a new water change would dictate the max level of bromine in the bath regardless of how much MPS/chlorine was added. Am I on track?

Hot tub owner and anticipating a heavy bather load this weekend. I have read that i can add additional activator to keep up with the demand on sanitizer. Question, will adding more MPS/bleach increase the bromine levels to unsafe levels or is adding more activator just maintaining a safe level for a longer period of time? I'm thinking that the starting amount of sodium bromide is important to follow after a new water change and any overdose of SB could contribute to am unsafe level of sanitizer if too much activator is added. Can someone set me straight on this.

Ok, I've added bromine, added activator, took a few dips and naturally the disinfectant level drops. Ok so I add more activator every day or so to bring it up to a safe level. I've read just to continue to add the activator until the next water change. Doesn't bromine itself consume over time? Do I need to add more once in a while?
