Additional Information
How To Use
Step 1: Prepare Your Spa
- Clean surfaces and hot tub filter
- Balance total alkalinity and calcium hardness
- Adjust pH to 7.2–7.8
Step 2: Establish the Bromide Bank
- Add ½ oz sodium bromide per 100 gallons of water
- This creates a 30 ppm bromide reserve for immediate sanitizer activation
- Repeat whenever the spa is drained and refilled
Step 3: Add Bromine Tablets
- Place tablets in a floater or approved feeder
- Maintain bromine levels at: 2–4 ppm (residential spas)
- Test regularly using included test strips
Step 4: Shock & Maintain
- Use the included oxidizing shock regularly to eliminate organic waste
- Use Foam Out as needed to control surface foam
*Do not re-enter spa water when bromine levels exceed 8 ppm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a bromine start-up kit do?
A: It establishes a complete bromine sanitation system in new or freshly filled spas, ensuring clean, safe water immediately.
Q: Why do I need sodium bromide first?
A: Sodium bromide creates a bromide reserve (bromide bank). When you oxidize the spa, it activates this reserve to form an effective sanitizer system.
Q: What bromine level should I maintain?
A: 2–4 ppm for residential spas.
Q: Is bromine better than chlorine for spas?
A: Bromine performs well in hot water, remains effective in higher pH conditions and produces less noticeable odor, making it ideal for spas.
Q: How often should I shock my spa?
A: Shock at least once per week to remove organic contaminants, especially after heavy use.
Q: Can I use this kit after draining my hot tub?
A: Yes. It is ideal for start-up after draining and refilling.
Q: What does this kit include?
A: It includes bromine tablets, sodium bromide, oxidizing shock, defoamer and 10 test strips.
