Ok, I am going to dump my tub water tonight and after I drain out as much as the water as i can I will clean the tub surface and change the filters.
The last time i did this in May I let the water fill up again a bit and spun the pumps for a second or two to flush out the water i could not drain from the lines and pumps, then drained it all out again.
I change the water every 6 months.
Upon filling the tub my plan is to fill-----wait for water to come up to temp-----test-and then add bromine until it says good.
It seems the PH and Alk are quite balanced here in Edmonton so not much to do there out of the tap and the hardness is a little light if anything.

What other recommendations do you offer to improve the quality and longevity/performance of the water?

have you tried chlorine ? bromine is stronger than chlorine so chlorine is  a lighter option ,
basically if you want to try chlorine the best time to do this is from a empty spa  after you have flushed !

quick note !  example  . . .  if your tub is on bromine then its classed as a bromine tub you can add chlorine into it but its still  a bromine  tub whatever you do
if you have a tub on chlorine and want to go down the bromine  route you can add bromine to the chlorine  and the tub then becomes a bromine tub bromine takes over

in a nut shell if your are on bromine and add chlorine it doesn't become a chlorine tub
                  if you are on chlorine and add bromine its a bromine tub  ( just see bromine as the strongest )
there's nothing wrong with either option obviously with bromine you don't get the chlorine smell

quick note aswel guys  if you look at your Tub water and see it sort of cloudy or misty or lets say you open your lid and you get a really strong chlorine smell hit you  its ready for a rapid shock !!
how chlorine works is , chlorine gets old of all the bad bacteria  etc in your tub and holds onto it it doesn't let it go it kills it and holds it ,  so when its cloudy etc it needs to all be burned away and how you do this is just  apply a rapid shock

thank you for that info on the Chlorine/Bromine.

How about the rest of you tubbers out there. Chlorine or BROMINE?
I'll bet there is a post.
