Depending on the size of the spa, you use very little chlorine. I put in 2 teaspoons once a week. The main chemical is spa shock. Not the spa shock you are used to but this kind of spa shock:

Spa Shock (Non-Chlorine) is a buffered spa shock to prevent PH bounce. It keeps water sparkling by quickly destroying undesirable compounds. It used most commonly with Ionizer Systems (Nature 2).

I don't test my chemicals, but rather take some water down to Steve and he does it for free. Once we found out the right combination of chemicals for my spa, and after he printed those instructions out and sent me home with them, I don't have to do that much any more. When I first switched, it seems like I was down there getting my water tested on a daily basis. I only go down now when I suspect something is wrong or it's been a long time.

One of the benefits of this system is that the water is so clear. It's like the freshest, cleanest water imaginable.

Steve told me that if there is any foam what so ever when I turn on my jets something is out of balance. I definitely have the water checked if/when that happens, but it's only happened once since I've been using this system.

I am kind of annal about following instructions.
