SpaChoice 2-pound Premium Bromine Booster (sodium bromide) is formulated to create that reserve prior to using brominating tablets. It is not a sanitizer by itself; instead it provides the bromide ions that brominating tablets convert into active bromine, helping reduce chlorine-based odors and maintain clear water when used as directed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use this bromide booster with my brominating tablets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart by dosing the spa after a fresh fill or whenever you need to re-establish the reserve. Measure by volume: add 1\/2 ounce of SpaChoice sodium bromide per 100 gallons of spa water to achieve an initial 30 ppm bromide reserve, then maintain using brominating tablets as your active sanitizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd 1\/2 oz per 100 gallons for a 30 ppm reserve before first tablet use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse brominating tablets in a floater or dispenser to produce active bromine from the bromide reserve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRe-dose after draining and refilling the spa or whenever reserve testing indicates low bromide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this product sanitize my hot tub on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — SpaChoice sodium bromide is not a disinfectant and cannot replace a sanitizer.
