Bromine in 20 g tablets, slowly dissolving for disinfection of pool and spa water.

Absence of chlorine smell, high tolerance to pH variations.

Product with great disinfection power and highly oxidize.

Properties

Appearance: Solid in 20 g tablets.

Colour: White.

pH (saturated solution): 4,6.

Solubility (25ºC): 0.15 g/100cc water.

Useful bromine content: 61%.

Composition: 1-Bromo-3-Chloro-5,5-Dimethylhydantoin.

Features

• Effective disinfection against bacteria, algae and fungi, it does not depend on its pH disinfection power in a scald between 7 and 8.
• High disinfection power, which allows destroying all the organic matter present in the water.
• The combination of bromine with organic amines results in compounds called bromamines (NHBr2) that, unlike chloramines (combination of chlorine with organic souls), do not reduce the disinfection effectiveness of bromine.
• Bromines do not cause eye irritation or unpleasant odors.
• Its dosage is carried out through a tablet dispenser, thus providing the correct level of disinfection, thus protecting bathers and avoiding excessive consumption of the product.
• For shock treatment, it is recommended to use Oximines, this treatment consists of a chlorine-free shock product, specially formulated for use in pools or spas treated with bromine.

Reaction of bromine tablets with water

1. Bromine tablets + Water = DMH + Hypochlorous Acid + Hypobromous Acid

When bromine tablets are dissolved in water, hyperchlorous acid (Active Chlorine) and hypobromous acid (Active Bromine) are formed.

2. Hyperbromous acid reacts with hyperchlorous acid, in turn forming bromide ion.

3. This bromide ion reacts with hyperchlorous acid to form hypobromous acid again.

In this way, the disinfection resulting from the reaction of Bromine Tablets with water is hypobromous acid. Hypochlorous acid acts as a bromine regeneration agent.

Dosage and instructions for use

When the pH of your pool is adjusted between the values 7.2 and 7.6, fill the tablet dispenser with bromine tablets, then adjust the dispenser to obtain the desired level of Residential Bromine.

The recommended Residential Bromine values vary depending on the type of pools, they are as follows:

• Private Pools 1.0 - 3.0 ppm.
• Private Spas 2.0 - 4.0 ppm.
• Public Pools 3.0 - 5.0 ppm.
• Public Spas 4.0 - 6.0 ppm.

You can easily measure this value with a bromine and pH analyzer kit.
