aarondavidson Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 I recently got a 280 gallon hot tub and am using bromine. I got a chemical set which had bromine tablets in it with a floater. I got the tub installed last week and even with four tablets in the floater, all the way open, I cannot get the bromine level over 1 ppm. The test strips work - I confirmed by rubbing one on one of the wet tablets. I've used sodium bromide and shocked the tub first. What should I do?!

CedarTubNube Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I have exactly the same problem, can't find any answers on the internet. I really hope someone can help. 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondavidson Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 So I figured it out. I needed to use a bromine booster and then shock it - that converted the booster into free bromine. Right after doing that, I'm at the right level. I'm using bromine tablets then to manage it from there. Turns out it was REALLY easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
