Description
SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate - 14 oz
Fast-Dissolving Bromine Sanitizer and Oxidizer for Hot Tubs
SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate 14 oz is a fast-dissolving granular bromine product designed to sanitize and oxidize spa and hot tub water in one easy step. Unlike slow-dissolving bromine tablets, this concentrate is added directly to spa water while the circulation system is running, making it a convenient option when you need to raise bromine levels quickly.
This one-step brominating concentrate helps control bacteria, oxidize organic contaminants, reduce odors, and maintain a cleaner, more comfortable soaking environment. It requires no pre-dissolving, no separate pre-treatment activator, and no separate oxidizer when used as directed.

Product Details
Compatibility and Requirements
SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate is intended for spas and hot tubs that use bromine sanitation. It is added directly to spa water with the circulation system operating and does not need to be pre-dissolved.
Before use, make sure spa equipment is working properly, clean or backwash the filter as needed, and adjust pH to 7.2-7.6. Use a test kit or test strips regularly to confirm available bromine and dose only as needed to maintain the proper residual.
How to Use SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate
-
Make sure the spa circulation system is running.
-
Test spa water and adjust pH to 7.2-7.6 before treatment.
-
Add 1 level teaspoon per 200 gallons of water.
-
Test for available bromine after circulation.
-
Repeat at 15-20 minute intervals until a 3-6 ppm bromine residual is established.
-
For super-oxidation, add 4 teaspoons per 200 gallons with the circulation system operating.
-
For visible algae treatment, brush spa surfaces, run circulation, add 4 teaspoons per 200 gallons, and circulate for 15-20 minutes.
Dosage Guide
Brominating Concentrate vs. Brominating Tablets
SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate is a fast-dissolving granular treatment that raises bromine levels quickly and can be used for routine sanitation or super-oxidation. SpaGuard Brominating Tablets are slow-dissolving tablets designed for continuous sanitation through a brominator or floating dispenser. Customers who want quick manual dosing may prefer the concentrate, while customers who want continuous feeder-based bromine may prefer tablets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate do?
SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate sanitizes spa water and oxidizes organic contaminants. It helps control bacteria, reduce odors, and maintain a clean bromine residual.
Is this the same as bromine tablets?
No. Brominating Concentrate is a fast-dissolving granular product added directly to spa water. Brominating tablets dissolve slowly in a brominator, feeder, or floating dispenser.
Do I need to pre-dissolve it?
No. SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate can be added directly to spa water while the circulation system is running.
What bromine level should I maintain?
The product directions reference a 3-6 ppm available bromine residual. Test regularly and dose as needed to maintain that range.
Can this be used as a shock?
Yes. SpaGuard Brominating Concentrate can be used for super-oxidation at 4 teaspoons per 200 gallons when a stronger oxidizing dose is needed.
