Hi!
Thanks so much for jumping in. I heard you were the one to turn to for all things bromine. I use Nava 1” tablets. I just added a new packet in the brominator so I would say I typically use about 2-3 packets filling brominator per year. My bromine levels usually stay 4-5 ppm. I had one algae bloom in 7 yrs and that was my fault for completely neglecting the pool for a long period. It cleared right up with liquid bleach, a potassium monopersulphate shock and then a dose of Nat Chem Pool First aid. I’ve read quite a few of your posts referring to DMH. Thank you for that. I’m not sure I have a problem with that yet as the bromine levels stay very stable at a low setting on the brominator. I do have a couple bottles of Brom Start on hand and wondered if that would be better to trigger the bromine than a mono shock. Trying not to bring the stains back. The water is a little clearer today, running the vac. The ph is 7.0 right now but the TA is pretty high at 150. Whatcha’ think?
