My liquid shock is comprised of sodium hypochlorite (12.5%) and inert (87.5%). You mention that I should shock to activate the sodium bromide...how much shock and is the liquid shock I have been using adequate? Thank you.

I did not setup a bromine bank with sodium bromide. I will ask my pool store about that. I did add two gallons of liquid shock the other day and still did not get any bromine reading. Thanks for your help.

I use a brominator and have had the pool for 4 years and have never had a problem. This year I am unable to get a bromine reading even though my bromine in the brominator is eroding. My water is very clear and there does not appear to be any problems. I am very certain the brominator is setup correctly and is working properly (verified it with my pool company too). I don't understand where the bromine is going. Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks in advance. John
