Title: Bromine Compartment in Optima?
Post by: Styx555 on November 24, 2006, 01:30:24 pm

Where is the compartment that holds the bromine tablets in the Optima? I can't seem to locate it?

Thanks

I don't think there is one. You have to buy what's called a bromine floater/feeder that sits in the water.

I thought that sundance does have a built in bromine dispenser in the filter chamber somewhere.  I remember that being a selling feature.

I stand corrected. They do have one. I just got off their website and wasn't able to find a pic.
Styx, do you have an owners manual? If so I would think it would have some info on it.

In the filter wier gate (the part that floats up and down with the water level), you will see a little grate on the top of it.  That opens to a small compartment in the weir gate itself.  This brominator will take bromine pucks or the SunPurity mineral cartridge.

Thanks, I"ll check that at home. The manual doesn't give specifics at to where it is.

No- At least the one on my 2003 Optima doesn't.
  I think you just put in whatever amount of tablets keeps your bromine reading in range.

I know what you mean.  When I used bromine it was in an adjustable floater, and I never did figure out the right setting.  Too high one week, not high enough the next.

how is bromine working for you? Last tub, I used bromine for 8 months or so, with so so results. Switched to chlorine and water was much better.

I wet tested an Optima yesterday and the compartment was placed on the door with the filter. A little pop open area on the door I think. Hey how do you like your Optima and why did you choose it. Please let me know...thx   email: dfindlay@rideuta.com

 It won't if people accept the fact that there is more than one way to think about things or do them.
