    High bromine and ph and alk dropping a bit

    OK, I thought I had this all figured out and had control of my levels the last couple months. Then, we bought new bromine tablets from Wal-Mart instead of dumb spa place. These are obviously much more potent or something because we haven't had to use NEAR as much bleach after being in the tub...

    Pulled filters out and water in that area all dirty

    I apologize for starting a new thread, but this has nothing to do with my other posts. Our spa screen said to clean filter. We just cleaned them a week ago. We pulled them out and all kinds of nasty dirty water came into that filter area. The spa itself is crystal clear. We also saw chunks...

    So frustrated!! Chlorine vs. Bromine

    We started out our new swim spa with chlorine 2 weeks ago. When we had problems balancing things and had cloudy water, the spa store told us "it will clear up" and said to only add chlorine once a week, no matter what the test strips say. Well, we ended up with bacteria and my kids got...

    Anyone else have a Swim Spa?

    We recently bought a Master Spas H2X swim spa. I know they are not very common, so I wondered if anyone else had one. We have had some issues with balancing the water due to the spa store giving us bad information, so I am starting to handle this on my own. I ordered a Taylor bromine test kit...
