Anticipating Heavy Bather Load...

Hot tub owner and anticipating a heavy bather load this weekend. I have read that i can add additional activator to keep up with the demand on sanitizer.

Question, will adding more MPS/bleach increase the bromine levels to unsafe levels or is adding more activator just maintaining a safe level for a longer period of time?

I'm thinking that the starting amount of sodium bromide is important to follow after a new water change and any overdose of SB could contribute to am unsafe level of sanitizer if too much activator is added.

Can someone set me straight on this.

I just posted this to the Water Chemistry side. This may help you

Great read, thanks.

Question. If I start a new bath and use the correct proportion of sodium bromide vs water, can I accidentally over dose the bath thus making it unsafe by adding too much MPS/chlorine? I'm thinking that the starting dose of sodium bromide in a new water change would dictate the max level of bromine in the bath regardless of how much MPS/chlorine was added. Am I on track?
