Hi guys, I'm trying to research converting my spa to bromine and I have bromine granules that are 47% dichlor and 14% sodium bromide. what is a normal concentration for dichlor since pool math only has dichlor with no % listed

How many of you guys are compensating for the 1.5 ml volume of the speed stir magnet. I was adding 1.5 ml to all the different volumes but now I think this may be making my tests less accurate. I guess consistency is the key and the actual number is less important but in a 10ml sample it is...
