Bromine Tablets

Bromine Tablets contain an active ingredient named 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin. These tablets can only be used in a feeder device or floating dispenser – please refer to the manufacturer’s manual for operational details. Dose the required number of tablets into the feeder and resume circulation. If there is no automatic controller, the level of bromine in the pool or spa can be raised or lowered by changing the flow rate through the feeder. The bromine tablets dissolve in the water and produces hypobromous acid; this is the compound that will kill all the bacteria. It is called “total bromine” and this is what you will be testing for.

Occasionally there may be a build up of unwanted by-products from the bromination process. These can be easily dealt with using a Non-Chlorine Shock.

The addition of this product will also regenerate ‘spent’ bromine. Like chlorine, bromine will be destroyed by sunlight but at a much, much slower rate.
