The information is great - thanks! So just to clarify, it appears the floater will take care of most of my weekly sanitizing needs - once set up to maintain proper levels (and I will be sure to start with sodium bromide). If you can help me understand a couple scenarios - it would be appreciated: 1. About to go for a soak and bromine levels are low, so it's needs an MPS shock to bring back in range. With Natures 2, I would add 2 tbs of Renew and retest after 15 minutes. When it was in range (and usually was), ok to go in. Does that go with the Bromine as well - about 2 tbs? I do understand that liquid bleach offers some benefits, but currently prefer the idea of dry with MPS due to easier, for me, use with reduced splashing or spills and dry storage. 3. It's been a week of soaking fun (average around 3-5 soaking hours in a 550 gallon tub) and it's time for my weekly shock. Should I be using ChemGeeks' 7 teaspoons of 43% MPS per person hour of soaking formula? This equals about 7-11 tablespoons of MPS for weekly shock. Am I understanding this right? Seems like alot Any guidance is appreciated. . Thanks again.

Hello Guys, First, thanks all for the knowledge you share here. Definitely helping me wrangle the world of spa chemistry. I'm about to convert to Bromine tabs from chlorine for what appears to be the solution for my travel schedule. Often return after 4 days with chlorine at 0. I do have the Waterbear Bromine program printed (very helpful), and all the supplies ready to go(bromide salts, bomine tabs, floater, K-2106 test kit, etc.), but have a couple of questions before the switch. 1. Is there any reason to not completely fill the floater with the tabs? More tabs = last longer but a local dealer indicated only 3-4 tabs at a time 2. Will be shocking with MPS (Renew). With chlorine, I shocked with MPS every soak. But it appears this may not be the case with Bromine - just weekly? 3. Was using Nature 2 with chlorine, liked the idea. Got the Spa Frog mineral stick to hopefully allow low Bromine levels (1-3ppm?). Thoughts on this? If helpful, here's my spa details: 550 gallons, soak 2-3x per week for 1/2 hour, usually 2 adults and one child. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!
