Hot Tub Things® Bromine Tablets – 5 lb Spa & Hot Tub Sanitizer

Q: Why use bromine instead of chlorine in my hot tub?

A: Bromine is more stable in hot water, produces less odor, and is gentler on skin and eyes compared to chlorine.

Q: How should I add bromine tablets to my spa?

A: Use a floating dispenser or automatic feeder. Never place tablets directly into the spa shell, as this may cause damage.

Q: What level should bromine be kept at in a spa?

A: Maintain a bromine residual of 3–5 ppm for effective sanitization.

Q: How often should I add tablets?

A: Refill the floater or feeder as needed, usually every 5–7 days depending on spa usage and size.

Q: Can I use these tablets with ozone or mineral systems?

A: Yes, bromine works well with supplemental sanitizers such as ozone or mineral cartridges.

Ensure spa water is balanced with proper pH and alkalinity levels before use.

Place bromine tablets into a spa floater or automatic feeder; do not place tablets directly in the spa.

Adjust the feeder or floater to maintain bromine levels between 3–5 ppm.

Test spa water regularly using bromine test strips to ensure correct sanitizer levels.

Refill the floater or feeder with tablets as needed to maintain consistent sanitation.

Always keep the spa covered when not in use to reduce chemical demand.
