Thanks for trying to help, kimkats. If you review my other posts you will see that I have both read and resummarized that post already.

CH: 260 TA: 120 pH: 7.4 SI: ~= 0.15 Bromine: 4ppm (3.825-4.05 ppm) I believe the above parameters are balanced and good to go, and now I just have to tune my bromine setup to maintain ~2-4ppm or more while away from the tub. Longer story: I drained and refilled my tub on January 27th, but did...

I bought it from Lowry, the Canadian distributor in Newmarket. I have let them know by email but don't expect a response until during the week. Meanwhile, though a little less convenient to work with, I believe my water is sorted. I'll post a separate message to get some confirmation that I've...

Today I purchased a K-2106 test kit, but the titrating reagent in the kit is R-0871, while I was expecting R-0872. Please confirm the following things: R-0871 is the titration agent for Chlorine. As a test for Chlorine, I can multiply the results by 2.25 to get Bromine. That means this table...

Thanks for your informative reply! I haven't added the floater to the procedure yet because I don't know how much bromine will get activated by the ozone on my spa and how many tablets need to be in the floater to have the combined effect of keeping the bromine @ 4ppm. I don't know how to...

This is derived in large part from TFP’s “How do I use Bromine in my Spa (or pool)?” and “How do I use Chlorine in my Spa (or pool)?”. It is written custom for my own Marquis Epic spa (450 gallons = 1700 liters) for the 3-step system since this spa often goes for weeks unattended. I’m looking...
