Generator - Cal Spas PATIO Owner's Manual

Maintaining the Bromine Level
Maintaining the pH and the alkalinity is part of being
a spa owner. The bromine generator requires you
to determine your power setting based upon your
circulation time and your spa usage. It requires a
minimum of eight hours of circulation per day. If the
spa is not circulating, the bromine generator is not
generating bromine. If you find that you are having
trouble maintaining the desired level, make sure the
spa is circulating the required amount.
A spa that is frequently used will require a higher
power setting. If you have a bromine reading that is too
high or too low, adjust the DECREASE / INCREASE
control accordingly. Depending on the amount usage,
circulation time, and type of spa, each spa owner's
setting will be different.

The bromine generator can go up to 12 months before
a drain and fill is required, unlike non-equipped spas
that require it every three months. This is because the
bromine generator does not add unwanted chemical
by-products like traditional chemicals do.
Sodium bromide is not the only contributor to the
TDS count in your water. Over time, the TDS count
in your water will rise (from such things as residuals
from other chemicals and minerals, and unfilterable
material). Test the TDS every few months to make
certain it stays within range.
Shower prior to entering any hot tub or spa. This will
help prevent phosphate contamination and reduce the
demand on the bromine.
Shocking your tub is recommended after heavy bather
load.
