Welcome to our forum.
if u r handy or know someone with a Dremel what i did was use a .040(forty thousands end mill) in my dremel and grind the little slot locks out.So instead of 13 bucks every 3 weeks or so a 17 dollar container of bromine tabs would last all winter if not longer.By the way I am willing to do this free of course for anyone just PM me.eh thats was with the spa frog.Now if I could only find out what the "blue mineral" cartrage contains so I could do the same.
...Concerning cleaning the filters in the winter months, I have just one spare. I bring in the dirty filter and soak it in a 5 gal bucket of filter solution/water for 2 days and hose it off in the extra bathroom shower stall using the hand held shower massage and let it drip dry...Good luck.

Are you talking about a throw-away bromine floater that you rigged to re-use? I was going to get a re-usable floater to begin with. Anyone have suggestions on a good floater and type of bromine?
I'm thinking of switching over from Dichlor to a Bromine floater on my next water change. This would be just for the cold weather months. I would probably swith back to Dichlor in the Spring.Has anyone here ever done this? Are there any "gotcha's" switching to Bromine from Dichlor for 3 months?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks gturn. That floater looks good. Does anyone have experience with Brilliance bromine?
