ITEM IF LOW IF HIGH
Bromine Add 1 Tbsp Bromine Granules every 20 mins until desired result is achieved.
If a disc floater is in: remove it from the tub until levels come back into range.
If a floater is not being used: open the cover and let the jets run for 20-40 mins.
If levels are extremely high you will see a brown ring around the teal. In this case it is best to use a neutralizer to drop levels more quickly.
