SpaChoice Sodium Bromide Bromine Booster for Hot Tubs — 1-lb 2-Pack, builds 30 ppm bromide reserve

SpaChoice Sodium Bromide Bromine Booster adds a bromide reserve to hot tub water so bromine tablets can produce active bromine sanitizer.

Use this 2-pack of 1-pound SpaChoice Sodium Bromide to build the bromide reserve required for a bromine-based sanitizer program. This product itself is not a disinfectant; it prepares water so brominating tablets convert bromide into active bromine. It’s intended for initial setup and after each drain-and-fill to ensure the bromine system starts with the needed 30 ppm bromide reserve.

How do I start a bromine program with this product?

Add SpaChoice Sodium Bromide to create the bromide reserve before you add brominating tablets. Start by dosing 1/2 ounce per 100 gallons to reach roughly 30 ppm. After that, use bromine tablets in a floater or feeder for continuous sanitizer generation.

• Add 1/2 oz per 100 gallons to establish a 30 ppm bromide reserve.
• Always follow with bromine tablets for active disinfection.
• Allow the water to circulate to mix the bromide evenly.

Can I use this product as a sanitizer by itself?

No — this sodium bromide product is not a disinfectant. It provides the bromide ions that bromine tablets convert into free bromine. Pairing it with a proper bromine tablet system is essential for maintaining safe, sanitized spa water.

• Product establishes bromide reserve only, not a sanitizer.
• Use with brominating tablets for active bromine generation.
• Not a replacement for regular water testing and maintenance.

How often should I add SpaChoice Sodium Bromide?

Add this product when you first switch to bromine tablets and again after each complete drain and refill of the spa. Routine top-ups are generally unnecessary unless testing shows bromide levels have dropped below the target. Keep a record of drain cycles to know when reestablishing the reserve is required.

• Add at startup and after every drain-and-refill.
• Retest bromide or total bromine if water clarity or sanitizer readings change.
• Top up only as needed based on testing or service intervals.

Will using this eliminate chlorine odor in my spa?

When used correctly with bromine tablets, a bromine-based program can avoid chlorine chemistry and its characteristic odors. This product helps the bromine system perform as intended, but proper dosing and circulation are necessary to maintain odor-free, balanced water.

• Helps enable a fully bromine-based sanitizer routine.
• Bromine systems typically have less chlorine-like smell when maintained.
• Maintain pH and total alkalinity for best results.

Who is this for: SpaChoice 1-lb 2-Pack Sodium Bromide is for hot tub and spa owners who want to run a bromine tablet sanitation system. It’s ideal for people switching from chlorine, those refilling spas regularly, or anyone who prefers bromine chemistry and needs an easy-to-dose product to establish the required bromide reserve. Not for use as a standalone disinfectant — use alongside bromine tablets and standard water testing tools.
