Why use Bromine?
Most spa owners like it better because of the benefits of it. Bromine is a chemical that is closely related to chlorine; however there are a few differences between them that make bromine a little more user friendly.
• It lasts longer in higher temperatures
• Bromine has fewer odors
• It is also more gentle on skin, eyes and equipment
• You can use fewer chemicals with Bromine
• It’s easy to use!
WHY??
Once in the water Bromine kills very similarly to chlorine, with one BIG exception. When chlorine kills it leaves behind a waste product (known as chloramines) which smell bad and must be burned off or oxidized. Where as bromine leaves behind no waste product, but instead its by-product (known as bromimines) continues to sanitize, have little to no odor and can be reactivated by means of a simple shock treatment.
The most popular form of Bromine used in the spa industry is bromine tablets, making this system very easy to use. Tablets are placed in a floating feeder usually inside the filter compartment.
So what does all of this mean for you? Simply put…More Time!!!
