    7 months later - questioning bromine approach

    Great! My Ahhsome just arrived from Amazon today. Once the above is done, what is the procedure for keeping the bromine after use/in general? The liquid bleach? Any need to shock beyond that or just keep things clean and balanced?. Will turn ozonator off. Good point on the tabs. There will...

    7 months later - questioning bromine approach

    Great. But assuming that I am only asking this forum for help on how to best regulate using a 2 step program vs a 3 step program, both of which are represented in the TFP guide, any helpful tips on getting bromine levels to be such that we can use the tub a few hours after adding renew to build...

    7 months later - questioning bromine approach

    Aren’t I using Renew which is a non-chlorine shock to activate the bank? I don’t think any chlorine is required. As mentioned I think I am allergic to it. Really trying to understand how to maintain good levels with a healthy, working bromide bank and non-chlorine shock to activate without the...

    Clear part of headrests turned yellow

    Any idea what would cause this? Happened shortly after refilling the tub. Water source the same as always. Water clear and levels good (bromine has been really high after shocking...maybe this did it) and no residue around tub ring or anything. Just the clear plastic in the headrests and...

    7 months later - questioning bromine approach

    I had been maintaining a 3 step bromine system for my spa since the Summer and I am running into two problems: 1) After shocking I cannot get the bromine level down for days (5+). I think the simple answer is that there is not enough for the bromine to kill off so I should shock less frequently...

    Overthinking or just wrong?

    So checked today. Bromine staying at a good level (shocked it yesterday), pH appears to be staying at 7.8. Water clear as can be. Do I leave ph there and only bring it down if it goes higher or lower it even at 7.8? Thanks!

    Sorry. Tried to delete this as it was meant to be a reply not a new post. My posting is as bad as my hot tub knowledge!

    Mine act more like airflow controls than diverters. There are 4 smaller wheels for that. I don’t see any larger diverters. Maybe I don’t have them…

    Hmmm - mine act more like air valves based on what you are saying than diverters. I only have 4 small wheels. No big ones. Could I not have diverters?

    Ahhhh! My installer called them diverters. They are the things that turn and control how high or low the jets push. I get it now. Okay…

    Well now I really want to know what an air injector is! :unsure:

    Overthinking or just wrong?

    Thank you! What is the difference between an air injector vs jet? The circulation is only on when the filter, jets or heater are on. So I guess not 24/7
