Standard Bromine Starter Kit

The Standard bromine kit adds foam control to the basics. Alongside the bromine sanitiser, pH balancers and total alkalinity increaser, it packs 500ml of Foam Away and Palintest 6-in-1 strips, so a well-used bromine tub stays free of surface foam from the outset.

• Adds 500ml of Foam Away to flatten foam from oils and lotions.
• Keeps a fresh fill balanced with pH Plus, reducer and alkalinity increaser.
• Sanitises with 500g of rapid-dissolve bromine granules.

How to use

1. Fill with fresh cold water and run the pump to circulate.
2. Test with a strip, set alkalinity to 80 to 120 ppm, then wait.
3. Adjust pH to 7.2 to 7.6 with pH Plus or the reducer.
4. Add bromine granules and build bromine to 4 to 6 ppm.
5. Add a capful of Foam Away only when surface foam appears.
6. Retest and bathe once bromine, pH and alkalinity read in range.

Frequently asked questions

What does Standard add over Basic?

A 500ml Foam Away for surface foam, on top of the four balancing and sanitising bottles and the 6-in-1 strips.

Which kit do I need?

Standard suits a regularly used bromine tub where foam appears. Step up to Premium for clarifier, shock and cleaning, or Premium Plus for flush and cartridge care.

How long do the contents last?

Balancers and bromine cover the first weeks of a home tub; Foam Away lasts much longer as it is dosed only when foam shows.

Bromine or chlorine?

Bromine is steadier at spa heat and gentler feeling; chlorine acts faster and is cheaper to top up. This is the bromine kit; a matching Standard Chlorine kit is available.

Can I buy the items separately?

Yes, Foam Away, the balancers and the bromine are all sold individually.

Is it good value?

It usually costs less than the five products and strips bought separately.

Why control foam?

Bath oils and lotions leave unsightly foam; Foam Away flattens it without upsetting the sanitiser.

What tub size does it suit?

A home hot tub of 1,000 to 3,000 litres; scale up with full-size products for larger volumes.

Does Foam Away sanitise?

No. It only clears foam; the bromine granules do the sanitising.

Foam keeps coming back?

Repeated foam means a heavy lotion load; the surface fix helps but a refill resets it.

Need shock or clarifier?

They are in the Premium Bromine kit, and also sold on their own.
