Recommended Bromine Dosage (Bromine Plus):
The amount of bromine required depends on the intended purpose, such as disinfecting swimming pools or other water systems. General recommendations are as follows:
1. For Swimming Pools:
This product is not suitable for outdoor pools. For newly filled pools, shock treatment may be necessary.
Follow the label instructions to maintain an effective bromine level of 2–3 ppm. Frequently test water quality using a reliable testing kit, and adjust the brominator’s flow rate if necessary to maintain the appropriate bromine level.
Usage Guidelines:
• Use automatic or floating brominators as per the device’s specific instructions.
• Refill the brominator weekly to ensure enough bromine is dissolved to maintain the recommended levels.
• The slow-dissolving nature of this product, combined with brominator design features, requires sufficient chemical contact with water for effective use.
2. For Residential Pools:
Add 340 g (17 tablets) per 10,000 gallons (38,000 liters) of water every 5–7 days, or as needed to maintain a bromine level of 2–3 ppm. Use a floating tablet feeder or an automatic brominator for consistent bromine release.
Alternatively: Use 1 tablet per 2,000 liters of water.
3. For Commercial or Public Pools:
Add 620 g (31 tablets) per 10,000 gallons (38,000 liters) of water every 5–7 days, or as needed to maintain a bromine level of 3–5 ppm.
Alternatively: Use 1 tablet per 1,200 liters of water.
Water Volume Calculator: (All measurements in feet)
• Weight per tablet: 0.7 oz (20 grams)
4. For Hot Tubs and Spas:
Outdoor hot tubs and spas should be shocked weekly and maintain a bromine level of 2–4 ppm. Add 20 grams (1 tablet) per 300 gallons (1,140 liters) of water every 5–7 days, or as needed. If water appears cloudy or has an unpleasant odor, shock immediately with an oxidizing shock or chlorine shock.
Usage Methods:
1. Floating Bromine/Chlorine Feeder: Ensures consistent bromine levels without the need for tablet counting. Adjust dosage directly on the feeder for convenience.
2. Bromine/Chlorine Feeder in Pump Room: Allows precise control of bromine dosage for effective maintenance.
3. Direct Tablet Placement: Place bromine tablets directly into the pool, surge tank, or hidden compartments.
Additional Recommendations:
• Bromine Testing: Regularly test bromine levels with a reliable kit to ensure they remain within the appropriate range.
• pH Control: Maintain water pH between 7.2–7.8 for optimal bromine efficiency.
• Continuous Dosing: Use a brominator or add tablets periodically as needed.
Packaging:
• Double-layered packaging: Non-toxic plastic inner bag with a woven bag, plastic drum, or paper drum outer layer.
• Typical packaging: 1-liter container weighing 0.82 kg.
Transportation:
• Handle with care to avoid exposure to sunlight and moisture.
• Transport similarly to general chemicals, but do not mix with toxic substances.
Storage:
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Avoid storing with toxic substances to prevent contamination.
• Shelf life: 2 years.
What is Bromine?
• Acts like chlorine but with much less pungent odor.
• Highly effective at disinfecting warm water pools, spas, indoor pools, and enclosed pools.
• Less irritating and safer than chlorine.
Popular in America and Europe for years, bromine and chlorine are widely used for pool and spa disinfection. Bromine offers several advantages:
Advantages of Bromine Over Chlorine:
1. Effective in Hot Water:
• Bromine is ideal for spas and warm water pools as it remains effective even at high temperatures, unlike chlorine, which can lose efficiency.
2. Wide pH Range:
• Bromine works effectively across a broader pH range (7.0–8.5), while chlorine’s efficiency decreases above 7.5.
3. Less Irritation:
• Bromine forms bromamines, which are less irritating than the chloramines produced by chlorine, making it better for sensitive skin.
4. Reduced Odor:
• Bromine has a milder odor compared to chlorine, which many users prefer.
5. UV Stability:
• Bromine is more resistant to UV degradation, making it suitable for indoor pools or those using UV sterilization systems.
6. Effective Against Contaminants:
• Bromine better handles organic contaminants (like sweat and lotions) without losing efficiency.
Considerations for Bromine:
• Higher Cost:
Bromine is generally more expensive than chlorine. However, Winwinpool imports bromine at affordable prices, making it an excellent opportunity to switch to a safer, less irritating chemical.
• Specific Applications:
Bromine is commonly used in spas and smaller pools, though it is expected to become more widespread.
• Slower Dissolution:
Bromine tablets dissolve slower than chlorine, requiring compatible chemical feeders.
Conclusion:
Bromine is ideal for high-temperature pools, indoor pools, and spas, where reduced odor and irritation are priorities. It offers excellent disinfection performance, even in challenging conditions, making it a preferred choice for modern pools and spas.
