INSTRUCTIONS

Directions for use:

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read entire label and use strictly in accordance with precautionary statements and directions.

This product is a practical, easy to use sanitizer for spa and hot tub water. It rapidly and completely dissolves without cloudy or insoluble residue in water to provide effective bromine disinfection. This product may be used as a super oxidation treatment to rid spa and hot tub of organic wastes.

Ensure all spa and hot tub equipment is working properly. Backwash or clean the filter system following manufacturer's directions. Adjust pH to between 7.2-7.6. When using other products as outlined in the directions for this product, always follow directions on those products. Spas should be drained and cleaned at least every 60 days or whenever water becomes difficult to manage or keep clear. Bath oils, salts and lotions should not be used unless specifically formulated for use in spas and hot tubs as they can lead to cloudy water.

FOR SPA AND HOT TUB SANITIZATION

Add 1 level teaspoon of this product per 200 gallons of water with circulation system operating. Test for available bromine and repeat sanitization dose at 15 to 20 minute intervals until a residual of 3-6 ppm is established. It is recommended that a test kit be used regularly to determine when additional doses are needed to maintain a residual of 3-6 ppm bromine.

FOR SUPER OXIDATION: A super oxidation dose is needed to destroy water soluble organic wastes. This may be needed on a daily basis in a heavily used spa or once a week in a moderately used spa. Add 4 teaspoons of this product per 200 gallons of water with circulation system operating.

About Natural Chemistry Pool and Spa Water Care

Founded in 1989, Natural Chemistry shifted the paradigm of pool care by asking a simple question: "Is there a better, more natural way?" While the rest of the industry relied heavily on harsh industrial chemicals, Natural Chemistry pioneered the use of powerful, naturally based enzymes—similar to those found in your own body—to break down organic waste.

What started as a single enzyme formula to combat scum lines has grown into North America’s leading authority on specialty pool water care. Their philosophy is built on "biomimicry"—using technologies inspired by nature to solve common pool problems like algae fuel (phosphates) and greasy buildup. By breaking down contaminants rather than just masking them, their products often reduce the need for excessive sanitizers and scrubbing. For the DIY homeowner, Natural Chemistry represents the "work smarter, not harder" approach to maintenance, delivering high-end results with eco-conscious science.

Why We Trust Natural Chemistry Pool and Spa Water Care
Pioneering Enzyme Technology: They were the first to successfully stabilize natural enzymes for pool use, allowing water to "digest" oils, lotions, and pollen naturally.

Problem-Solving Focus: Rather than generic fixes, they manufacture targeted solutions for specific headaches, such as high phosphates (Phosfree) or persistent scum lines.

Efficiency & Simplicity: Their core promise is to reduce maintenance time and effort, polishing water so it sparkles without constant manual labor.

Eco-Conscious Chemistry: By removing organic load efficiently, their products often help sanitizers work more effectively, potentially lowering the total chemical burden in the pool.

Choosing the Right Sanitizer Format

Depending on your maintenance style, you will need a combination of these forms to keep your spa safe.

Option 1: [The Slow-Release Tablets]

  • Best For: Daily Maintenance.
  • Key Feature: 1-inch tablets designed to fit in floating dispensers or inline feeders.
  • Expectations: These dissolve slowly to provide a constant, low-level release of sanitizer. This is your "set it and forget it" baseline protection.

Option 2: [The Granular Concentrate]

  • Best For: Immediate dosing and dosage adjustments.
  • Key Feature: Fast-dissolving powder that raises sanitizer levels instantly.
  • Expectations: Use this after heavy usage (like a party) or when your test strip shows low levels and you want to use the tub immediately.

Option 3: [The "Bank" Builder]

  • Best For: Fresh refills.
  • Key Feature: Pure Sodium Bromide salts.
  • Expectations: This is not a daily sanitizer; it is a one-time additive used when you refill your hot tub to establish a chemical reserve that your tablets can activate.

The Gold Standard for Hot Water Sanitation

If you own a hot tub or an indoor pool, Bromine is likely your best friend. While Chlorine is the king of swimming pools, it struggles in the high temperatures of a spa, often gassing off quickly and leaving behind strong, harsh odors. Bromine is different. It is chemically structured to withstand heat, making it the superior choice for maintaining crystal-clear water in hot environments.

How It Works
Bromine is a halogen sanitizer, much like chlorine, but with a unique "superpower." When chlorine attacks contaminants, it turns into "chloramines"—dead waste that causes eye irritation and that distinct "pool smell." When Bromine attacks contaminants, it forms "bromamines." Surprisingly, bromamines remain active sanitizers. This means even after doing its job, the chemical continues to kill bacteria and viruses.

Why Homeowners Choose It

  • Heat Stability: It stays effective in hot water much longer than chlorine.
  • Softer Feel: It is generally less irritating to skin and eyes, providing a silkier soaking experience.
  • Low Odor: Say goodbye to the stinging smell of bleach.
  • pH Forgiveness: Bromine remains highly effective even if your pH levels fluctuate slightly, giving you a wider margin for error.
Common Questions +

1. What is the difference between Bromine and Chlorine?
The main difference is stability and smell. Bromine is more stable in high temperatures (making it perfect for spas) and retains its sanitizing power even after combining with waste. Chlorine works faster but burns off quickly in hot water and creates strong odors when "spent."

2. Can I just switch from Chlorine to Bromine without draining?
No. It is generally recommended to drain and refill your spa before switching systems. Warning: Never mix dry chlorine and dry bromine chemicals together outside of the water, as this can cause a dangerous chemical reaction.

3. What is a "Bromine Bank"?
A "bank" refers to the reserve of bromide ions in your water. When you fill a fresh tub, you often add a packet of Sodium Bromide (a salt) to create this bank. Then, when you add your sanitizer tablets or shock, it activates this bank, turning it into bacteria-killing Bromine.

4. Can I use Bromine in my outdoor swimming pool?
You can, but it is not recommended. Bromine is not UV-stable, meaning the sun destroys it very quickly. It is significantly more expensive to maintain a bromine level in an outdoor pool compared to chlorine. It is best reserved for spas and indoor pools.

5. How do I "recharge" the Bromine?
This is the magic of bromine chemistry. When you add a non-chlorine shock (oxidizer) to the water, it reactivates the "spent" bromide ions, turning them back into active killing agents. This is why regular shocking is a vital part of the bromine workflow.
