Bromine has been used for years in spas, hot tubs and swimming pools to keep bacteria under control. You can get bromine as a liquid or as granules. Granules are the easier option because there is no need to dilute them with water first. Bromine also suits anyone with sensitive skin or allergies, since it does not bleach the skin the way chlorine can.
Bromine is a strong oxidiser, so it disinfects well, and it leaves a more pleasant smell and feel on the skin than chlorine. Bromine granules also work with bromine generators, and you will not need chlorine test kits, which makes them simpler to use and look after. The one catch is that bromine does not evaporate as readily as chlorine, so bromine water needs circulating more often than a chlorinated pool.
Hot tub bromide granules are a good shout for anyone who wants the benefits of bromide without buying a brominator or generator. They pack over 70% available bromides, making them seriously potent next to a lot of other brands.
Bromine Granules in 1kg and 5kg can be used alongside Spa Bromine Tablets.
