Note: Before using HTH Spa Brominating Tablets in your hot tub or spa for the first time, add 1/2 ounce of sodium bromide per 100 gallons of water to establish a 30 ppm bromide concentration. Also, add sodium bromide at this dosage whenever the spa or hot tub is drained and refilled. The bromide addition ensures immediate establishment of an all-bromide system, eliminates chlorinous odors and maximizes skin and eye comfort.
Spa or Hot Tub Start Up:
- To start-up a new spa or hot tub, or one recently drained, clean all surfaces, backflush or clean the filter, chemically balance the calcium hardness and total alkalinity, treat for metals if present (iton, copper and manganese), and adjust the pH to 7.2-7.8.
- Using a suitable feeder adjusted according to the manufacturers directions, add HTH Spa Brominating Tablets to maintain an active bromine concentration of 2 to 4 ppm in residential spas and 3 to 6 ppm in commercial spas.
- Use a reliable test kit to monitor for bromine regularly.
- HTH Spa Brominating Tablets usage will typically vary from 0.015 to 0.10 pound for every 300 gallons of spa water to maintain a recommended bromine concentration range.
- The presence of organic debris, high bather loads, and other factors may require a higher dosage.
Superoxidation:
- Water soluble, non-filterable wastes can accummulate in spa or hot tub water and cause dull or cloudy water and stimulate algae growth.
- Superoxidation or superchlorination with a suitable oxidizing shock treatment should be done on a regular basis to remove these wastes and maintain clear sparkling water.
- Suitable oxidizing agents are those based on calcium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite or potassium peroxymonopersulfate.
You must establish a 30 ppm bromide reserve in your spa or hot tub with 1/2 oz. of sodium bromide per 100 gallons of spa water.
