Product description

Although not as popular as chlorine overall, bromine is commonly used to sanitize spas and many indoor pools. Bromine treatments are sold as tablets, briquettes, sticks, granules, and solutions. In the pool or spa, these all produce hypobromous acid, the main disinfecting and oxidizing form of bromine. After its poser is depleted, hybrobromous acid ultimately decomposes to bromide ions. The concentration of bromide ions is referred to as the bromide bank.

Ions in the bromide bank can be reactivated to the germ killer hybromous acid by chlorine, ozone, or the non-chlorine shock potassium monopersulfate. This is why you will see one or the other of these strong oxidizers in each bromine treatment described below. To many, learning that chlorine has a place in a bromine-sanitized pool or spa comes as a surprise. Once a pool is on bromine, it will always be on bromine until completely drained and re-filled.
