I bought a new/old Softub last week. Model 300 I believe. Which is part of my problem - I'm not certain of model or year, and there are two different "Softub official" owners manuals I've found so far. One Two.
The first one says "floating dispensers should never be used. Use of trichlor, bromine or floating chlorine dispensers will void the warranty. Sodium dichlor is the recommended type of sanitizer." - interestingly, my Softub came with a Softub-branded floating dispenser...
The second one says (paraphrasing) "Both bromine and chlorine are good sanitizers. One option for bromine is a floating dispenser. DO NOT use chlorine pucks (granular only)."
Both manuals describe a vinyl liner, so that hasn't changed.
I have two questions as a result of this;
- Why does Softub recommend bromine when they once stated it would void the warranty.
- Is it ok to use both granular chlorine and bromine at the same time? I understood from reading these forums (regarding my pool) that they were not compatible?
I planned to use bromine pucks in a floating dispenser exclusively in the new 'tub - of course keeping an eye on the PH to keep the liner in good shape.
