I have a bromine spa that I use Aqua Clarity in weekly for maintenance. I’d like to include borates to keep my pH more stable, and have some Gentle Spa, but I don’t know what’s in Aqua Clarity. Does anyone know if it’s ok to use the two together? Thanks!

I apologize for all of the dumb questions, but I'm not sure how this would work with my bromine spa. I don't use R-0871, I use R-0872. Do I need to get R-0871 too? What is the difference between the two? Honestly, I think the likely answer is my chlorine has lost a lot of strength. It's stored...

I thought that seemed wrong! Was too lazy to find the right word. Is there some reason it is preferred? I know I had a reason for going with dry acid, but I don't really remember now. I think it seemed safer to handle or something.

OK. Would you mind explaining why though? From what I read, CC comes from bather waste and no one has been in the tub. I'm not sure I understand how this relates to Br either.

Why would mercuric acid be preferred? I'm not sure how to test for CC. I have the Taylor K-2106 kit. Also, this is completely fresh water. No one has been in it. How quickly does chlorine degrade?

I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm really hoping someone has some insight. I am still wondering why adding 10% sodium hypochlorite in the amounts given to me by PoolMath does not seem to result in the expected rise in Br. I just refilled the spa as follows: 1. Purge with Aqua Clarity. 12...

I don't have a problem maintaining the sanitizer level. It's not being used very much right now, and even though I don't check on it at much as I should, there is always bromine when I check it. It's just that I don't get to 20 ppm Br when shocking trying to shock it with the amount of 10%...

Thanks. I have a hard time getting it that high though even after dumping in 8-10 oz of the 10%.

I follow the 3-step system for my bromine spa using 10% sodium hypochlorite for my oxidizer. The one thing I am a little unclear on is shocking. Is there a specific bromine level I am aiming for with the shock?

I'm going to ask my quesitons in a different way, this time with numbers! Here is what I got when I tested this morning (again, this is the 2-step bromine system, I have not yet added a floater): Br - 2.5 pH - 7.8 TA - 70 CH - 140 Since the sticky says to maintain 4-8 ppm of bromine, does this...

Yes, I understand that, I am simply trying to figure out how to keep my hot tub safe and I'm a little unclear on the details for that which was the purpose of my second question. None of the links you provided answered that question. Also, if this is a chlorine based forum, why is there a...

Hello everyone! I've finally got my spa up and running again and I have a couple of questions. Right now I'm following the 2-step bromine method and using Ahh-some's Aqua Clarity. Purged with the Aqua Clarity (surprisingly no gunk came out), refilled, balanced the water, established a bromine...

I know this is a really late reply, but I wanted to thank you for sharing this. I feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one who couldn't get things to work with the stupid Frog system! Unfortunately, it took me this long to reply because right after I posted there was a big rainstorm at...

Ah, thank you, that makes sense.

Thank you! Yes, I have read it, but it does not answer my specific questions. I was hoping for some input on which sanitizer to go with given that we travel somewhat frequently. I ended up deciding to stick with bromine, but I still don’t know what to do when we are gone for a few days. And I...

No one has any help for me?

Oh, one other thing, do I need to shock it or anything before I do the Ahh-Some purge?

Hello everyone! I have a new spa and many questions… The spa is a Sundance Chelsea model (400 gal) with ClearRay. We’ve had it about a month and set it up using the Frog Serene floating system (bromine) and Jumpstart that the spa place provided. In all this time we have never been able to get...
