I used the AquaCheck Sodium Bromide Test Strips (for Bromine generator systems) -- I got a white peak reading of 9.0 which states a Sodium Bromide level of 3584 ppm ... Using the regular AquaCheck test strips I get a Total Bromine reading of approx 2.0 -- which states it is on the lower end of "Ideal / Ok" ... My water hardness, alkalinity, and pH all read in the normal "Ok" range ... When the Arctic Spa's installer setup my tub, he told me to keep my salt water system cranked to 10, and then turn it down to 9 if the Total Bromine reading stayed within the "Ideal / Ok" range ... I agree with Waterbear, I think I need a GOOD drop based test kit ... Also, the Arctic Spa's installer did not show what to do to start the tub when changing the water ... I was recently told (in store) that I need to add 8 L (8 x bottles) of Brom-Aid (Part A of a two part product santitizer system) ~ 35% Sodium Bromide ... change the filter, and that's it ... the salt water system will take care of the rest ... My tub capacity is approx 1375 L ... curious if anyone else has any experience with this ??

Hello, Very useful informaton here ... I have the Arctic Spa's Yukon with the salt water system ... very little information on how to properly use / operate it ... Another question -- when changing the water, what is the right sequence for startup ? do you add bromine ? chorline ? sodium bromide ? how much ? any help is appreciated ... Thanks!
