  1. Bromine spa. 400 gallons with an ozonator. Someone gave me new shock. Sodium Carbonate Peroxyhydrate. I followed the instructions and the bromine level did not raise (I use Taylor test k-2005) so I decided nevermind on that product and decided to buy potassium peroxymonosulfate. I tested afterwards and everything was fine. However, I neglected to test this week until last night and my bromine is OFF the charts and all 5 of my bromine tabs are gone. Completely dissolved despite having only one tab visible in the floater. What did I do wrong?
  2. Most bromine systems are two step. When you first set up, you're supposed to balance your TA and PH first, then add enough granules for a fresh start to begin your bromine bank. Then you add the floater and shock 1-2 times a week If your tabs are slowly dissolving it means it's being eaten faster than it can stay in the water. You should check your PH levels. If they are not between 7.2 and 7.8 they struggle to effectively sanitize. Honestly it just sounds like you need to use shock.
