Title: clear ray filter systems
Post by: ewaba on January 23, 2016, 02:58:02 pm

Am I able to use bromine with a clear ray filter system?  I used bromine with my old beachcomber hottub and never had any issues.  I now have a Sundance spa with the new clear ray filter system and was told that chlorine works better with it.  I have had terrible chemistry issues, mainly the tub is not holding chlorine.  I shock frequently twice per week( and more often for increased use), and use stabalizing chlorine granules after each use. (Spa Boom).  I check the tub for alkalinity and ph weekly if not more often, and I have been cleaning my filters as recommended as well as increasing the filtration and circulating settings above factory default settings.  I was wondering what the thoughts are on using a chlorine floater at the minimal setting just to keep the chlorine levels maintained.  I left on vacation for a week, it was perfect before i left, (with no use during away) and when we returned it was very cloudy with an odour.  Any thoughts?

 Clear Ray isn't a filter but a glorified ultraviolet light that the water flows around.  So I don't see why you can't use a bromine or a chlorine floater if you wanted.
