Went out of town for a couple of weeks. Before I left the Bromine was low, but the PH was really really low and TA was near 0. I added about 30 lb of sodium bicarbonate and that fixed the TA and low PH both. At the time my Bromine measurements were very low, and I had notched up my bromine erosion feeder a bit.
Before I left Bromine was around 2ppm on the DPD test, and I turned my bromine feeder down to below the usual setting of one.
I tested when I got back 2 weeks later, and the bromine was over 50 PPM, but the TA and PH were both on target again. I had 2 theories on what happened:
1. The erosion feeder was just too high, adding too much bromine all the time.
2. The bromine reading I had obtained while the pool was a touch acidic was falsely low, and correcting the TA/PH affected the bromine reading.
I think 1 is the right answer, but just wanted to make sure 2 was crazy talk, I think it is, but can't find much out there on bromine pools!
Thanks for your advice!
