•	If Bromine is your selected sanitizer, then the ideal level is 5-10 ppm in a spa and 3-5ppm in a swimming pool;
•	If Chlorine is your selected sanitizer, then the ideal level is 3–5 ppm in a spa and 1.5-3ppm in a swimming pool. Salt water pools should have a salt level of 2700ppm-3500ppm. Please refer to your owners manual for your specific salt unit.
