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!
