Bromine Tablets & Granules

Bromine Tablets You Can Trust: Ideal for Sensitive Skin & Spas

What is Bromine?

Bromine is a powerful water sanitiser that, like chlorine, kills bacteria and controls algae, although it has some key differences.

• Less odour – Bromine produces fewer strong-smelling byproducts than chlorine.
  
  
• It is more stable in hot water, making it ideal for hot tubs and spas.
  
  
• Gentler on skin and eyes – suitable for those who find chlorine irritating or have sensitive skin.
  
  
• Longer-lasting disinfectant – even after it binds with contaminants, bromine remains active.

Should I use Bromine or Chlorine?

The right choice largely depends on where and how you use your pool/spa. Bromine is slower acting than chlorine, so it will need to be tested regularly for optimal levels. Let's break down our recommendations; 

• Outdoor Pools- Chlorine (fast-acting)

• Indoor Pools- Bromine (less odorous)

• Hot Tubs- Bromine (heat stable)

• Sensitive Skin users- (gentler)

How to Use Bromine Tablets Safely

• Use a floating dispenser to dissolve tablets into your water slowly.
  
  
• Maintain bromine levels at 3–5 ppm for hot tubs and 3–4 ppm for pools.
  
  
• Never mix bromine and chlorine in the same water; this can cause dangerous reactions.
