Sanitizing with bromine has become increasingly popular.
Whereas chlorine can sometimes cause offensive odors and
skin irritation, bromine is less likely to do so. Additionally,
unlike chlorine, when bromine combines with bather waste
and other contaminants in the water, it remains a very
effective sanitizer. Bromine is also far less pH-dependent
than chlorine. Leisure Time® Brom Tabs are applied
through a oater that gradually releases the bromine and
maintains a constant level of bromine in the water. When
using Leisure Time® Brom Tabs, you will also need to use Leisure Time®
Sodium Bromide when rst lling your spa to ensure a fully bromine-
based sanitizer system.
APPLICATION
1
To begin, add half an ounce of Leisure Time® Sodium Bromide for
every 100 gallons of water to establish an initial bromide reserve in
the water. For your convenience, your spa care kit includes a oater
already lled with Leisure Time® Brom Tabs. Add the bromine oater
following the directions on the oater for the correct application.
2
Next, test the water with the Leisure Time® Spa & Hot Tub Test
Strip to ensure the spa’s pH and alkalinity levels are within proper
ranges. The pH should be between 7.2 – 7.8, the alkalinity should read
between 80 – 120 ppm, the calcium hardness should range from 150 –
400 ppm and the sanitizer level should read between 2 – 4 ppm.
3
Once the water is balanced, the last step is to shock-oxidize your
spa water using Leisure Time® Renew
®
granular or Leisure Time®
Renew
®
Tabs. During normal spa use, body oils, lotions and other
organic contaminants can enter the water. When these build up, the
water can become cloudy and hazy. To destroy these impurities, it is
critical to shock-oxidize your spa water on a routine basis, preferably
after each use and at a least once a week. To do
this, keep the pump running and add Leisure
Time® Renew
®
granular or Leisure Time® Renew
®
Tabs according to the directions on the label.
Your spa is now ready to enjoy as often as youd like.
Just remember to shock-oxidize your spa with Leisure
Time® Renew
®
granular or Leisure Time® Renew
®
Tabs after every use to keep the water clean, clear and inviting.
