    Bromine behaviour

    Is it normal that when I add a larger than usual amount of bleach(8.25%) (10oz+) in my 440 gallon bromine tub, the water shows a heavy green tint for roughly 30-45 minutes?

I live in Canada and it seems I am only able to order the k-1001 and not the k-1000. What is the difference exactly and would the later...
