Okay thanks, FWIW I've been using the Bromine system as outlined in TFP by Waterbear, I don't think I would be this far this fast without this forum. So it has been a terriffic learning experience I was just trying to understand better and maybe even provide a few learning's from a newbie.

Thanks for clarifying, I just had to make sure as what you said conflicted with what chem geek said about not having to shock. I also thought that bromamines have little to no odour, so was not expecting a "fishy" smell... So shock weekly to 20ppm to destroy bromamines produced by combining...

Waterbear, can you confirm that one needs to shock a Bromine spa to get rid of bromamines and other organics, that 4-6ppm of Free Bromine is insufficient, and still needs regular shocking to 20ppm?

But I don't quite understand why I need to shock if there is always a good amount of residual bromine, wont this bromine oxidize the organics? What will shocking do that the residual bromine can't do?

1. I can't really figure out why I have to add shock every week if I'm having no problem maintaining a residual bromine level of 3-6ppm, i.e. is there some way of definitively knowing when or if you have to shock the spa if everything seems okay. 2. When you shock, can the floater stay in the...

I wasn't doing it for pH control, I was doing it because it was recommended. The reason I didn't get to 50ppm is because it takes a lot of Borax and Dry Acid, and I was running out, will continue adding... I thought a nice side benefit was the TA pH buffering capability, and so I thought it...

Hi there, I'm a newbie, and have been following waterbears bromine method, I have successfully got my spa up and running, and have a couple of questions and maybe some learning points for other new spa users trying bromine. Firstly, what I learned that may have been obvious to others but not...
