What is the proper procedure when starting fresh after dumping with the spa frog floating bromine/mineral cartridge dispenser?

If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

I'm an idiot when it comes to bromine, so how, what and how much do you use to shock at fill-up?

If memory serves, the instructions on the Spa Frog say to open the bromine cartridge wide open for 24 hours (to establish your bromine bank), then set it back to #1 after that.  My dealer's instructions say to set it wide open for 8 hours, then check bromine level and then set to #2.  I followed the dealer's instructions on my first fill, but found that the bromine got too high after awhile, so I set it back to #1.  Bromine has been between 1 and 3 PPM ever since.
