I see some of you are using chlorine for this unit. Can Bromine be used instead?

I have used Bromine with mine and had no problems. I have had mine for about 7 months.

Yes. Bromine is what I have been using in mine since I started using it and it works well.

It would not hurt it . But keep in mind that this is a non chlorine product that is made for bromine tablets.

Make sure u never mix bleach and ammonia.. It will create chloramine vapor, and possibly hydrazine .. both highly toxic.. They shouldn't even be stored in the same area's together..

you should be able to use this shock product in any spa that uses Bromine and which does NOT have chlorinated water. Never mix Bromine with water that has been treated with chlorine / bleach / sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), or hydrochloride . . . whether liquid or powdered form. If the water is chlorinated, best to first replace the water or wait three days after the last exposure to chlorine before adding Bromine.

I would say No due to the holes that release the chlorine/Bromine tabs. I think Powder would just dissipate real quick and not release slow as it's intended. Powder is for an instant addition as the Tabs release over time..Other than that if you go Tabs this works perfect, no issues with tipping or anything....Good luck

We only use distilled water. That keeps it from having any mineral deposit build up, and extends the life of the machine.

Yes you still have to balance the water chemistry.. this device only adds to low level chlorine sanitizing with another additional microorganism eliminator/reducer.

spa choice bromine works great and at a great price. I own a dynasty imperial 450 gal 3 pump tub good luck.

No, You have to convert it. This trutest comes with directions how to convert it to Bromine. It's to bad it doesn't have it already figured out for you on the unit.

I live in San Antonio and the people at the pool and spa supply store told me not to worry about alkalinity just the ph up and down. So i dont use alkalinity chemicals . As for the other two they told me to dilute before putting into tub because they might be harsh on the tub. I use the foam down and the bromine tablets also. Leisure time is recommended by the store as well. Also, wait about 15 minutes between chemicals

Yes you should add cyanuric acid. Otherwise your chlorine will be depleted. But your salt & cyanuric acid do not evaporate so once you get the levels right, they should be maintenance free.

Yes you can use this unit. This offline chlorinator includes everything you need. Tubing, fittings, seals and the chlorinator.

Mix two tablespoons in a quart of warm ( not hot ) water. Use a plastic or glass container. NEVER,NEVER ever mix with bleach, it will form poisoness chlorine gass that in a close area can be fatal !!!................Uncle Sam

Yes, it can be used with a salt system. In fact it complements each other. The minerals help by stabilizing the water and having less of a demand on the chlorine generator.

Get a Copper Ionization System and you will not get algae unless you let the copper get low. No chlorine! I have had mine for 20 years and we really like ours. Extremely easy to take care of.

Yes but keep in mind this pool does take a lot of water. It took a few hours or more to fill it and after a couple days in the warm summer the water will turn green without chlorine and bromine. The pump might not be totally necessary if you are planning to empty it each spurt of use but it is good for debris, dirt, etc that gets into the pool. If you get a pump and have the chlorine/bromine, you can keep it going all summer and use it when you wish but you do have to regularly treat it. You will not want to refill it every day or two... takes too long/too much water. We just keep ours up all summer from June-Aug. I chlorinate it every other day to every 3 days and I believe the bromine is once a week but follow pkg directions.

I believes it is better suited for other applications. My experience, a lot more volatile chems and highPressure washer on hot day is best for that issue! No expert, just my experienced!
