Yes that us much easier! Thanks!

I'll check at Walmart today. Thank you.

Thanks!

Can someone please walk me through using my chlorine reagents to test for bromine? I have R-0870, r-0871, and R-0003. Thank you in advance!

So to my surprise, most pool store workers didn't know what I wanted when I asked for sodium bromide. I was able to find this: Here is my concern, the label says: dichlor 47.6% sodium bromine 14.88% I'm wondering how this affects building the bromine bank. Does this mean that I will not need...

Will call around to nearby pool stores tomorrow. If all else fails, will order online and continue with chorine until I get some. Thank you

I managed to find bromine tablets, but not sodium bromide. So to create a reserve in a hot tub currently sanitized with chorine and no ozonator, how do I do that? is the next best trick to crush tablets up? Thanks for your help. Sandi

I use chlorine bleach as a sanitizer in my hot tub currently, but I am considering switching to bromine simply for the fact that I want the ease of not going to my tub everyday in the cold winter and adding bleach and testing. Somedays it's just too cold to hot tub around here. I'm interested in...

Can you buy tablets for a spa sized floating feeder that just contain chlorine without cya?

Hello, I use bleach to chlorinate my hot tub. I did the dichlor then bleach method to get my CYA to 30 and now I'm sailing with the bleach. But lately I have been noticing that my hot tubbing routine (or rather lack their of) is making my maintenance difficult. The trouble is that sometimes I...

I currently have a small intex cartridge filter that isn't cutting it for my algae situation. I'm thinking of getting a sand filter and I'm wondering how I figure out what size I should buy?

here's my update from today . . .a pink/purple pool :(

Ok I just tested and here's what I got: FC 14 PH 8.0 and CYA is still unknown. So I'm wondering if I should bump up the FC in case the CYA is up at 30 or 40 and I don't know it? Also there is a film on the surface of the water now. What could that be?

My CYA doesn't show up. I just added it yesterday. I'm just thinking that being higher in the FC is bettter than accidentally dipping under 10, maybe?

I've managed to maintain an FC over 10 all day (11 - 14) and it's still the same color as above and seems to be getting less transparent than before. I'm not giving up though!
