Maintaining the Bromine Level

Always keep your spa or hot tub water in balance. Maintaining the pH and the alkalinity is part of being a spa owner.

The bromine generator requires you to determine your power setting based upon your circulation time and your spa usage. It requires a minimum of eight hours of circulation per day. If the spa is not circulating, the bromine generator is not generating bromine. If you find that you are having trouble maintaining the desired level, make sure the spa is circulating the required amount.

A spa that is frequently used will require a higher power setting. If you have a bromine reading that is too high or too low, adjust the

DECREASE / INCREASE

control accordingly. Depending on the amount usage, circulation time, and type of spa, each spa owner’s setting will be different.

The bromine generator can go up to 12 months before a drain and fill is required, unlike non-equipped spas that require it every three months. This is because the bromine generator does not add unwanted chemical by-products like traditional chemicals do.

Sodium bromide is not the only contributor to the TDS count in your water. Over time, the TDS count in your water will rise (from such things as residuals from other chemicals and minerals, and unfilterable material). Test the TDS every few months to make certain it stays within range.

Shower prior to entering any hot tub or spa. This will help prevent phosphate contamination and reduce the demand on the bromine.

Shocking your tub is recommended after heavy bather load.
