Welcome to our forum.
With all the "interesting" things happening on the forum today I know my topic is of little interest. Any one have any salt water genesis system comments . I will say please and will keep Terms monkey in the closet.
Do you Genesis users notice any bromine smell in the spa or while showering? I am totally new to this and have not seen a Genesis sytem but have heard that bromine smell can be an issue with some people.
Thanks for your We find that the Ph tends to rise but that could also be due to aeration from the "turbo" mode on the jets. We have found the TA to remain relatively stable with an approx. 10 point drop every couple of weeks.Any thoughts on using bleach instead on shocking. The genesis manual states that bleach can be used to shock if the bromine level is dropping. Right now we have to shock every 8 to 10 days. We wait to the bromine drops to 2 and then we shock. Bromine stays between 3 to 5 for the 8 to 10 days.
If you use bleach to shock it will add to your PH rise. Household bleach has a high ph and your turbo jets will enhance this. It also seems to cause the bromine to have a stonger smell.As for not shocking, IMO I would continue since you only have to do it less than once a week. Shocking not only reestablishes the bromine, it oxidizes bather waste such as sweat, body oil and those nasty risidual soaps. Ozone also helps do this. The shocking will help break this stuff down. I understand it will also add to the TDS, but with the small amount you are doing it, I don't think its an issue. Find a shock that has a higher amount of MPS in it to reduce the amount of TDS. Sea Klear is 45 % and I think Oxy shock is up there also opposed to the 31% in leisure time and other products.
