Thanks very much, guys. The plastic bucket is a great idea, and thanks for the model recommendation, waterbear. It's very good news to learn the system can be left unattended for two or three weeks, which is the max. amount of time we'd ever be away.

I'm considering switching to the 3-step bromine process from dichlor/bleach so that we can leave the spa unattended for a longer period. However, I'm not sure what one does with the floating dispenser when using the spa. The filter compartment on our Sundance spa seems too small to hold a floater, but if I take it out of the spa, isn't it going to leak concentrated bromine on the spa exterior and deck? What do those of you using a brominator do? Does anyone have a recommendation for a specific brand of floater? Finally, how long should I be able to leave a spa with bromine unattended? With dichlor/bleach (and a constantly running ozonater), even if I start with 15+ ppm of free chlorine, there is no residual after 6 or 7 days. Thanks!
