Questions & Answers

My outdoor hot tub is currently equipped with frog ease smartchlor cartridges. Is switching to bromine going to be a problem?

I don't see why you couldn't, though you would need a floater to do so.

Is there any UV protection in these?

On the label, there aren't any. This is what I use in my home spa.

For 210 gallons of water, how many tabs are needed?

I use a floater with a 1 1/2" 6-inch setting. Every three weeks, ten

Is it possible to use the bits and pieces left in the container of brominating tablets as brominating concentrate (rather than the tablets)?

Yes! It's something I do on a regular basis.

Selected User Reviews For SpaGuard Brominating Tablets (4.5 lbs)

A powdered container and a few broken tablets are to be expected
3/5

When I first opened it, I realized it wasn't a 4 pack. Instead of 5 pounds of tablets (as stated on the container), there were 4 pounds of bromide powder and a half-dozen broken tablets. If you use a traditional bromide dispenser in your spa, the powder will fall through and dissolve, resulting in a change in water chemistry. Perhaps I received a bad batch, or perhaps this product is a dud. Buyer beware, in any case.

They take far too long to dissolve
3/5

For years, we've used Walmart's bromine tabs. I put 6- For our tub, we have 8 floats that last about a week. These tabs had been in the float for two weeks and had yet to dissolve. To make the tub clean again, we had to change the water twice. They might work if you have a float that can hold two dozen tabs, but not in a tub.

They aren't compatible with my hot tub
3/5

They're not going away! These tablets aren't going to dissolve in your mouth. We used them in our hot tub and found that the bromine level was nearly zero. br>br>I fully opened my dispenser, and the water still contains almost no bromine. Over a week after I put it in the water, the tablets appear to have barely dissolved inside the dispenser.

At the water's edge, there's a sticky resin! This product has caused an extremely sticky resin material to adhere to my hot tub and filter at the water line, which I discovered through a process of elimination
3/5

Buyer beware. It made a huge mess and took a long time to figure out, but with the help of the local water company, I was able to solve the problem. Don't act as if you weren't forewarned.

I monitor the chemistry of my spa water on a regular basis, calculating the Langelier saturation index (LSI) to ensure everything is in order
3/5

Keeping the LSI stable while using these tabs was a constant struggle for me. I stopped using them and switched back to granulated chlorine dosing, which brought the chemistry back to normal. I'm not going to use the tabs any longer.

They've been in my hot tub for quite some time and are still going strong
3/5

However. In my hot tub, I've been using SpaGuard Brominating Tabs for a long time and they're fantastic. Ordering them on-line, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult. The line was a flop. When I opened the container, I found many of the tablets cracked and a cloud of dust. They don't seem to ship very well. Despite the fact that the on-line Because the line price was lower, I'll most likely purchase my next container from a local pool. I'm going to go to a supply store to make sure they're not damaged before I buy them.

Half of the tablets are powder, and half of the powder is tablets
3/5

The tablets are fine, but about half of the container was filled with powder. As a result, half of the tablets had crumbled to the point where they could no longer be used. I'm going to look for another source of information.

Don't let anything go
3/5

I'm with the other reviewers on this one. The tabs do not dissolve when I use this product. The test strip is white when I check my Bromine level, indicating that there is no Bromine in the water. For the past week, I've had the dispenser in my spa. I'm going to go back to my old brand because these don't work in my spa.
