Hot Tub Things® Brominating Tablets – Premium Slow-Dissolving Spa Sanitizer

Proper Storage:

• Keep in original container with lid securely fastened
• Store in cool, dry location (below 85°F)
• Protect from direct sunlight and moisture
• Never store near acids, chlorine, or other oxidizers
• Keep minimum 10 feet from gasoline, solvents, or flammables
• Store out of reach of children and pets

Safety Precautions:

• Never mix bromine tablets with other chemicals
• Do not add tablets directly to spa water—use dispenser only
• Avoid breathing dust or fumes
• Wear gloves when handling to prevent skin irritation
• If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water
• Use in well-ventilated areas
• Never add water to tablets—always add tablets to water
• Keep MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) accessible

Disposal:

• Dispose of according to local regulations
• Do not contaminate water sources
• Empty containers may be recycled where facilities exist
• Never pour unused product down drains

Product Type: Bromine tablet spa sanitizer

Sanitization Method: Slow-dissolving bromine disinfection

Active Ingredients: Bromine compounds (BCDMH-based formulation)

Form: Solid compressed tablets

Compatibility: All bromine-compatible hot tub and spa systems; safe for acrylic spa surfaces and standard spa components

Dissolution Rate: Slow-dissolving for sustained bromine release

Dosage: Typically 1–2 tablets per 300–500 gallons using a floater or bromine feeder; adjust based on water testing and bather load

Function: Controls bacteria, algae, and organic contaminants while maintaining stable sanitizer levels

Chlorine Content: Chlorine-free primary sanitizer (bromine-based system)

Water Balance Impact: Minimal impact on pH when maintained within recommended bromine range

Application Method: Use with a floating dispenser or inline bromine feeder; do not place tablets directly on spa surfaces

Maintenance Requirements: Regular water testing required; periodic oxidation/shock treatment recommended to reactivate bromine

Use Environment: Effective at high water temperatures and during heavy bather load

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight

Shelf Life: Approximately 2–3 years when stored properly

Sanitizer Type: Bromine-based (not compatible with chlorine-only systems)

Initial Setup:

1. Test and balance water pH to 7.2-7.8 and alkalinity to 80-120 ppm
2. Establish initial bromine residual by adding 4-6 tablets per 250 gallons directly to water with jets running
3. Allow to circulate for 30 minutes, then test bromine levels
4. Target range: 3-5 ppm bromine

Ongoing Maintenance with Floating Dispenser:

1. Fill dispenser with bromine tablets (typically 3-5 tablets)
2. Adjust dispenser vents to control dissolution rate
3. Float dispenser in spa when not in use
4. Remove dispenser before entering spa
5. Test bromine levels 2-3 times weekly
6. Refill dispenser as tablets dissolve (usually weekly)

Using an Automatic Brominator:

1. Fill brominator chamber with tablets according to manufacturer instructions
2. Adjust flow control to achieve 3-5 ppm bromine
3. Test levels regularly and adjust feeder settings as needed
4. Refill brominator when tablets are depleted

Maintenance Schedule:

• Daily: Remove floating dispenser before use, replace after
• 2-3x Weekly: Test bromine levels and adjust dispenser/feeder
• Weekly: Shock with oxidizing shock to reactivate bromine
• Monthly: Deep clean and balance all water chemistry parameters

Pro Tips:

• Never mix bromine tablets with other chemicals
• Store tablets in a cool, dry place in original container
• Use oxidizing (non-chlorine) shock weekly to reactivate bromine
• Keep dispenser away from spa walls to prevent bleaching
• Adjust tablet quantity based on bather load and temperature
