Generator - Cal Spas Patio Owner's Manual

Maintaining the Bromine Level
Always keep your spa or hot tub water in balance. 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.
