Important Compatibility and Safety Notes
Compatibility
For bromine-sanitized spas and hot tubs. Do not mix the tablets in concentrated form with other chemicals, and do not add other chemicals to the feeder. Not for biguanide systems such as Sirona Simply.
Safety First
Danger: the bromine tablets are highly corrosive, cause irreversible eye damage and skin burns, and may be fatal if swallowed. Activate Granular is corrosive and a strong oxidizer. Avoid breathing dust, wear eye protection and rubber gloves, never mix the products together, and add each one separately to spa water. Outdoor spas must be covered when not in use. Store all products in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and always read and follow the full label directions and precautions.
