The silver Iion cartridge is the unknown for me. If you open and all is well, you will have your answer  :)   In situations like that I have my wife throw in a teaspoon of dichlor everyother day, or turn the tub down to about 80-90 to make the water last.

I too am not sure on the Silver Ion Cartridge.    If I don't use the tub for a few days (as I haven't been becuase it was too cold).  I just test it to make sure all is well.  I don't want to let it get to the point of 0 sanitizer.  I am confused though.  I use the Dichlor after every use or every other use and shock with MPS once a week.  So I am completely oposite to your method.  

Is that normal ?????? ???

FreshWater continuoes silver ion purifier, part of the Everfresh water care system HS uses. Along with ozone...directions
Prior to each use.. Add1 tbsp of mps to spa per 250 gallons
Once a week... Add 3 tbsps of mps to spa per 250 gallons
Every four months.. Drain and refill spa. Replace ion purifier and add 11/2 teaspoons of diclor per 250 gallons
As needed...If an mps treatment (either before use or weekly shock) has been missed, or if water is hazy,cloudy, or has an oder, chlorine should be used instead of mps. Add 11/2 teaspoon of chlorine per 250 gal.
This came right off the instruction sheet in the box.
