I have 350 gallon bromine hot tub. I follow the bromine spa sticky and use bromine tabs, Sodium bromide (i just buy stop yellow), and pool chlorine to oxidize. I add chlorine usually after every use and super chlorinate once a week.
I went into PaP and the lady said that when i use sodium bromide (stop yellow) and pool chlorine that they are "cancelling each other out" and i need to use Non chlorine oxidizer.
Im a little confused of the exact mechanics (chemics?) of how bromine works. My understanding is: Organics stick to bromine molecules and after a time an oxidizer is used to destroy them and gather more organics. (is that right?) How does bromine leave the hot tub? I seem to be adding it frequently (or maybe not). What is a normal sodium bromide addition to the spa? Once a week or month?
