I have a Caldera Elation (made by Watkins) 500 gallon spa. It has a silver ion cartridge in the filter. The manual specifically tells me not to use liquid bleach (unlike what I'm seeing in this forum). It gives no reason, though. It wants me to only use dichlor.
I'd like to try the BBB method I've read about here, but I'm a bit afraid to ignore the warnings of the manual. What do you guys think? Does the no-liquid-bleach rule come from the fact that I have the silver cartridge? Regardless, should I stop using it anyway? Does it help if I forget to keep the chlorine levels high enough for a short period of time?
