So for the bromine step 2 methond can i use blech to shock or not?

any idea where i can buy dry acid in a local store ????

this is my water chemistry ph 7.3 ta 200 hardness 80-90 I was pretty sure that TA should be at level of 130-400 . My Misreading Now how can i raise hardness and lower my Ta at the same time Thank you

After reading most of the topics on this forum i make conclusion that to become a happy hot tub user all i have to do is : make sure my water chemistry stay on ph 7.2-7.8 ta 120-180 ppm bromine or chlorine 6-8 ppm and check the water at lest every 3 days ( no time for everyday checking) shock my water every week with 6-7 oz of bleach ( aprx 177 ml ) $$$$ saver change my water twice a year never use any cream, lotion, sunblock before entering hot tub shock with bleach after heavy bathing or party never never pee in hot tub Thanks for all the help and tell me what else i should know

what is the different on step 2 and step 3 bromine and what kind of floater i need. I both my 480 gallons"Beachcoumber 500 series"( 2-3 years old) hot tub from some guy. It was winterized by specialist from what i know i also received some chemicals like Bromine step 2 . When i add water i also add some shock. Now after 3-4 weeks my paraminters are Ta - 160 ppm ph 7.2- sometimes 6.8 cl-br most of the time are really low.5-1 but after shocking 3-6 know i use now bromine step 2 in floating device and sometimes im raising my ph with ph up all i think is i forget to use sodium bromide of 2 oz to make some reserve in water Looks like my br and cl are low so what i should do now WHAT IS BROMINE STEP 2 AND STEP 3 AND WHAT IS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THEM Thank you for you help and SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH BUT I CAME TO THIS COUNTRY 10 YEARS AGO AND STILL LEARNING
