Welcome to our forum.
Thanks Hillbilly, I just ordered the whole Brilliance package of products, I will see how it works and write e review on the product after I have used it for a month or so.
Brillance is a bromine, but unlike traditional bromine tablets, it has no chlorine. It is a chlorine free system. because of not having the added chlorine, it does not smell like water that uses bromine tablets. They also add mineral salts to their oxidizer and PH adjustors and vitamin e to the foam down and stain and scale. and Bioplex to their clarifier which helps your skin.I only have to tend to my tub once per week, shock, stain and scale, sea klear and adjust PH/Alk if needed. My water is just shy of never cloudy (2 times in the last year after heavy use it got cloudy, I gave an extra dose of shock, and the next day it was clear) I will say I use the Sea Klear clarifier with this system instead of the one they offer. I love the Sea Klear stuff and its all natural plus makes filter cleaning a breeze.
I don't even know how I got on Brilliance, but I have been using it for about a year now. I like it! I have only changed the water once since I started, I know I know... but it just works great.I am about to change out to a new spa, and it will be hard to choose to go back to Dichlor or stick with Brilliance. I have gotten great results with both. 8-)
Good luck spatini. The only issue I have is that my PH tends to rise and ALK lower in my water, so I play the game of trying to get them to both be where they belong, but it is not a huge difference and I am anal about my tub. The PH rise may also be beause the tub has 5 pumps and 197 jets with ozone 24/7. We use the tub everynight and all the airation will cause the PH to rise too.Where did you order from? Being a dealer I am curious to my internet compitition!
I have reel good luck also with being able to go longer without water changes (but not a year). I will push the 5-6 month point, water is still crystal clear but then I can start to smell a bit of bromine and the water starts to feel "thick" so I dump it.
Congrats on the new spa Chas. What model are you going with this time?
What about granular bromine from other makers is it still different ?
