How best to establish ther bromine reserve? Crush a few tabs as another poster noted or is there a specific product for this?

My mistake in my original post. I'm using Brom Tabs (Bromochloro 5,5 dimethylhydantoin 98%) with Sani-Spa (Sodium Dichloro-s Triazinetrione Dihydrate).

What are you using for your bromine sanitizer?

I have a Sundance spa with an ozinator. I've followed my dealer instructions but after reading through the Chemistry forum topics I'm fairly confused about whether I'm doing things properly. Here's what I do. After filling I add MetalX, then adjust for TA and PH. I use chlorine tabs in the filter door and Robarb Sani Spa. My tests usually show no Bromine or Chlorine, but TA and PH are ok. I add a teaspoon of Sani Spa before use and this brings the Bromine and Chlorine levels in range. Next day same thing. Sani Spa label directions say to add before use if readings are not in range. My dealer says this is fine and not to be concerned that my levels drop as long as I have good readings before use. Am I missing something?

I appreciate the feedback. As some additional information - they serviced this about 3 months ago to replace the check valve on the ozonator and I was not charged for a service call. Also, the dealer is 3 miles away. I guess it comes down to customer service and goodwill. If they insist on the service charge, I'll pay it and let them know I'll take my chemical business for my pool and spa elsewhere.

Is it typical for a Dealer to charge for a service call when performing warranty repairs? Sundance Optima 9 months old. Filter cycle pump stopped working on timed cycle and manual. Hi speed filter, air, heat, etc all work. Dealer wants $50 non refundable just to look at it.
