I have read and read and read...From Pool School to how to use Bromine in my spa to how can I test Bromine levels in my spa...Everytime I think I have it down I read something again and think wow...maybe I dont.
I have a 350 gal (I think) South Seas Spa. We used to also have above ground pool and I used the BBB in both. Since moving we no longer have the pool...this year after much reading I decided the Bromine Hot tub made more sense.
I have A tf-100 Test kit. This morning I tested my spa and readings were as follows.
Br-10- (using the basic K-1000 kit from Taylor)
PH 7.2 (It has dropped a bit since last weeks testing.
FC-3 (using the TF-100 FAS/DPD) Here is where I am a bit confused. Do I now multiply that number by 2.2 making my FC 6.6?
My CC is .5 (maybe...i got a little tint but one drop and it was clear)
Makes my TC- 3.5
My TA is low at 20.
I went ahead and tested for CYA but- Its my understanding that CYA is not an issue for Bromine Spas....and I didnt see any CYA in the test.
In the big thread "How do I use Bromine in my spa" it is recomended to purchase the Taylor K-2106. If thats what I need to do I will do but....Is most of this kit the same as my TF-100 kit? Sould I but just selected regents/tests?
Sorry for all the questions...
