icdoo

First of all, I went to my Arctic Spa dealer omn the weekend and they gave me a louver. I was told every Arctic spa running in the summer needs a louver for saltwater systerms. The problem is that they produce so much heat and the water goes 3c aboove setpoint and they shut down. Your pumps dont run for 8 hours and not enough bromine is produced. The water seemed to be going grey and cloudy today so I added some more boost as no bromine was showing up on the test strip. I think this will consume the salt so I should check my levels tomorrow or I wont be able to generate bromine if I use too much up.

I also have an Arctic Spa complete with a Pioneer H2O Technologies Genesis unit. I constantly have to add PH down even with out adding any more water. I am still not convinced that the product is working correctly. I have adjusted all the levels to the dealer’s specification and had them tested. My aquachek test strips do not show any bromine, Arctic Spa tells me this is normal. Arctic Spa says "The bromine is there, you just can't read it." I added half a cup of boost yesterday to get my bromine to show up at a normal level on the test strip. What kind of readings are you getting and how are you measuring them? I am also confused what people mean when they say shock.... I have two products "BOOST" and “REFRESH". Is either of these products "SHOCK? I would also love to get any input as I hear many different stories and think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

My salt levels are good. I have never been able to get the bromine level up in the year I have owned it.

I am running the tub for on a filter cycle of 8 hours a day, I dont belive the arctic spa can run that long in the heat as it produces too much heat and shuts down. I keep it covered all the time. Should I be adding refresh or boost?

I am having a very difficult time proving my bromine generator is working and knowing my hot tub is safe. I have been using AquaChek Red with the following setup: - Arctic Spa 1400 litres - GENESIS AUTOMATIC BROMINE GENERATOR (salt water system) I have adjusted all the levels as per Arctic Spa’s instructions but there is no Bromine reading on my AquaChek Red test strips. I am told by my dealer that this is normal and I will just have to trust them that the Bromide is there. For the safety of my family measurements are required to prove the sanitizer is operating. Is this a true statement by my dealer? I can not confirm if my system is functioning correctly or if the AquaChek Red does not detect the bromine. Regardless I am very concerned about my sanitizer levels and need guidance. Any input would be appreciated.
