Why Sanitizers Matter

Bromine and chlorine kill bacteria and keep spa water safe. Imbalanced sanitizer levels can irritate skin, eyes, and damage equipment. Regular monitoring ensures clean, relaxing water.

Testing and Adjusting Levels

Use test strips or kits to check sanitizer levels. For hot tubs, bromine should be 3–5 ppm, chlorine 1–3 ppm. Adjust by adding small doses of bromine or chlorine, retesting after circulation.

Differences Between Bromine and Chlorine

Chlorine acts fast but can smell stronger and dissipate quickly. Bromine works well at higher temperatures, ideal for hot tubs, and is gentler on skin. Choose the sanitizer that fits your spa use.

Tips for Spa Health

Always maintain proper pH and alkalinity before adjusting sanitizer. Avoid over-chlorination or over-bromination. Store chemicals safely and follow manufacturer guidelines.

Balancing bromine and chlorine keeps spa and hot tub water safe, comfortable, and clear. Regular testing ensures a relaxing soak every time.
