Get a Bromine test kit and a pH test Kit. The bromine level should be around 4.0ppm and the pH should be around 7.4.
To raise Bromine, add Bromine.
To lower Bromine, add water
To raise pH: add soda Ash
To lower pH: add Muriatic Acid
As for the foam, it is caused by tanning oils, sunblocks, shampoos, conditioners, soap, body oil, fabric cleaners etc. To correct this problem add hexametaphosphate or "Foam Out".

Is Bromine or chlorine better for hot tubs?
Bromine is better overall as a solution than chlorine for hot tubs. Bromine Tablets are EPA registered, are an excellent sanitizer choice, are inexpensive and very easy to use. Used best with a floating feeder system, Bromine is superior to chlorine in that once free chlorine is combined with waste, it has no further sanitizing capability. For water pool treatment Trichlor tablets work great. Because of the high acidic nature, this particular type of chlorine is not recommended in spas. It also dissolves too slow to be effective. If the spa shell is exposed to Trichlor for a prolonged period of time, bleaching of the spa shell can occur and can often cause a permanent ring at the water line of the spa shell.
Will bromine water kill the grass?
I changed from using chlorine to bromine in my hot tub. As usual, I watered my grass with the old spa water when I cleaned and changed it. Chlorinated water never hurt the grass. However, the bromine water left me with brown and apparently dead grass and a withered tree. It took about a year for it to come back but it did. I found another less vulnerable place to discharge the spa the next few times. All seemed well. Now I am seeing a large withering tree further out in the yard. I am thinking that the salts have leached down to the roots and are causing the problem. I will not discharge the bromine water into my yard any more. I will use the sanitary sewer where I know the water will be properly treated without affecting the environment. I hope my tree recovers and the remaining salts disperse soon.

How do you convert a fresh water hot tub to a salt water hot tub?
Although ordering the spa as a "salt water" hot tub when you buy it is easier, as there is some plumbing work required, you can retrofit either a bromine salt generator or chlorine salt generator and create your own "salt water spa".There is a misnomer about salt water hot tubs in that you still have to create the chemical chlorine or bromine in order to sanitize the water. Only with a salt generator this process happens automatically, but you must establish either a bromine salt reserve or a chlorine salt reserve depending on the system you are using.You will save the trip to the store for chlorine or bromine, but you still need to add the salt when you refill the spa or when you top up the water.To convert, the bromine salt cell is plumbed into the water line and the control unit is mounted to the spa. A hot tub tech can do this for you. Sometimes you may save by already having the salt generator and just having someone hook it up and add it to the plumbing.There is no switching. But you do have to install a chlorine generator. The generator makes the chlorine from the salt you add. But why go through all the hassles and expense?A better bet would be to use Bromine, it was developed for use in hot tubs. Besides at high temps. chlorine will vent off in a gas form and probably run you off.
