Not from me, but from my dealer. I was just away for 2 weeks at Disney World Florida. My Hot Spring dealer told me to lower the temperature to 80F, and dump in a couple of large capfuls of bromine granular. (made by Spaguard). Did that. Just got home last night to perfectly clear water. I raised the temp back up to 103F, and will put in my regular chemicals again.
This is not rocket science, I know, I've never been told this before and it worked like a charm, plus my cost of heating the tub to 80F even when the temps outside are in the 30's to 50's range, is almost nothing..

As a chlorine user, I just add a shock dose of dichlor, lower the temp and lock it down. Always come back to crystal clear water.

Do you normally use bromine? Or do you use chlorine and this is the first time you've put bromine in the water?
If the second, you now have a bromine sanitized hot tub and any chlorine you add to the water will simply be reactivating the bromine. The only way to get back to a chlorine sanitized spa is to drain and refill.
