Using Bromine is the easiest way to keep your hot tub water clean and clear.
Advantages
Bromine is less volatile than chlorine
Bromine stays longer in the water at the high temperatures hot tubs operate.
Bromine does not form the smelly by-products that chlorine does
Most people do not find it as necessary to shower after using the hot tub to get rid of smells on their skin
Bromine tablets take up to 10 days to dissolve when placed in a small floating dispenser.
That means chemicals do not need to be dosed every day.
How to use bromine in your hot tub
The number of tablets you need to keep in the floating dispenser depends on how much the hot tub is used.
For a 1200 litre hot tub that is used by two people twice a week, two or three bromine tablets in the small floating dispenser will keep the bromine level about right.
Whilst you are getting used to using bromine tablets test the bromine every day and adjust the collar on the bottom of the dispenser according to the result.
After a while you will know when you have to put an extra tablet in and how open to have the collar. Then you will not need to check as often
Disadvantage
The only disadvantage of bromine is that when you start up with fresh water the bromine can struggle to dissolve quickly enough to establish a bromine level.
How to overcome this disadvantage
To overcome this add 250 ml of the bromine starter liquid and 30 grams of oxyshock per 1000 litres of water.
This will give a quick boost to the bromine.
You only need to add the bromine starter liquid after you completely empty and refill the hot tub with fresh water.
If you ever need to boost the bromine level quickly; perhaps if the water is cloudy after the hot tub has been heavily used; just add 30 to 100 grams of oxyshock per 1000 litres of water
