12.Use Sodium Bromide Test Strips (not Bromine) and adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS / conductivity level).

13.Add 2 oz. of Cal Spas “Oxidizer Shock” to help burn out impurities in fill water.

14.Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise until the LED display reads 10.

15.This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank.

16.Set the filtration cycle to “continuous” (F-C) for the first 24 hours.

17.Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to desired temperature.

Adjusting The Proper Bromine Levels

1.After start up, decrease the filtration cycle to F-4 and monitor the bromine level until it is within the recommended range.

2.Use bromine test strips to achieve a 3-5 ppm recommended level.

Note: It can take several days for the bromine level to stabilize because the fill water that was used sometimes contains contaminants that need to be neutralized, thereby using up the initial bromine that is generated.

Water Quality Maintenance

3.Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved.

4.The common maintenance setting for an average bather load is #4.

Note: When changing the setting, use bromine test strips to determine when you have reached the level you want.

Once A Week

2.Based on test strip readings:

•First, adjust alkalinity if necessary.

•Then, adjust pH if necessary.

•Increase / decrease bromine production with dial if required.
