Slow-Dissolving Bromine Tablets for Clean, Low-Odor Hot Tub Water
Sirona™ Spa Care Bromine Tablets are specially formulated for spas and hot tubs. They sanitize the water and keep it clean, clear and free of unpleasant smells, without the harsh odor of chlorine.
Bromine stays effective in the higher pH conditions common in hot water, and these slow-dissolving tablets give steady protection from a floater or skimmer basket. The 2.2 lb container is sized for regular home spa care.
Sanitizing Power Without the Chlorine Smell
Bromine is a favorite for hot tubs because it sanitizes effectively with less odor than chlorine. Sirona Bromine Tablets keep water clean and clear while delivering a more pleasant soak.
They also cause less bleaching than chlorine, which is easier on swimwear and spa components.
Works in Higher pH Spa Water
Hot tub water tends to drift upward in pH. Bromine remains effective even when pH runs higher, which makes it a forgiving choice for spa conditions.
Keep pH in the 7.2 to 7.8 range for best results.
Steady, Hands-Off Feeding
Load the tablets into a floater or skimmer basket and adjust it to hold an active bromine level of 2 to 4 ppm. The tablets dissolve slowly for continuous release between tests.
For a complete program, build a bromide reserve with Sirona Sodium Bromide at start-up and shock regularly with Sirona Activate Granular.
