Hot Tub Things® Bromine Tablets (1.5 lb) – Low-Odor Spa & Hot Tub Sanitizer

Q: Can these bromine tablets replace chlorine granules?

A: Yes. Bromine is a gentler alternative that provides similar sanitizing performance with less odor.

Q: Do I need a bromine floater?

A: Yes. Tablets should always be used in a floating dispenser or brominator for even distribution.

Q: How often should I test bromine levels?

A: Test at least twice per week and maintain 3 – 5 ppm for optimal water quality.

Q: Are these tablets compatible with all spas?

A: Yes. Safe for acrylic, fiberglass, and portable spas of all sizes.

Q: Does bromine affect pH balance?

A: Bromine is less pH-sensitive than chlorine, helping maintain stable water chemistry.

Maintain spa pH between 7.2 and 7.8 and total alkalinity between 80 and 120 ppm.

Fill a floating dispenser or brominator with bromine tablets. Do not add tablets directly to spa water.

Adjust dispenser opening to control bromine release rate.

Maintain bromine residual between 3 – 5 ppm at all times.

Test sanitizer levels regularly and refill dispenser as needed.

Shock the spa weekly or after heavy use to oxidize contaminants and restore water clarity.

Keep spa cover off for 15 minutes after shocking to allow off-gassing.
