Sirona Spa Care Bromine Start-up Kit
Product Overview
Freshly filled hot tubs require an established bromide reserve before slow-dissolving tabs can sanitize effectively.
Totaling 2.875 LB in net weight, the Sirona Spa Care Bromine Start-Up Kit contains 2 oz Sodium Bromide to build a baseline bromide bank, 1 lb Activate Granular non-chlorine shock to convert it into active sanitizer, 12 oz bromine tablets for ongoing maintenance, plus 16 fl oz Foam Out and test strips. Bromine remains stable in hot water and does not rely on cyanuric acid, making it well-suited for covered spas.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
2 oz Sodium Bromide Bank
Builds an immediate reserve in fresh water so shock treatments generate active hypobromous acid right away.
1 lb Activate Granular Shock
Monopersulfate oxidizer activates the bromide bank and destroys organic contaminants without raising chlorine levels.
12 oz Slow-Dissolving Bromine Tabs
Feeds steady sanitizer via a floating feeder to keep residual bromine between 3–5 ppm over routine use.
Product Details
Sodium Bromide (99%), BCDMH (Bromine Tabs ~96%), Potassium Peroxymonosulfate (Activate Granular ~32.8%)
Add 2 oz sodium bromide per 400–500 gal upon refill, shock with 1–2 oz Activate Granular, and maintain with 12 oz bromine tabs in a feeder (1–3 tabs per 300–500 gal).
Compatibility
- Do not mix bromine tablets directly with trichlor, dichlor, or calcium hypochlorite in the same feeder.
- Compatible with ozone systems and mineral cartridges; wait until bromine tests between 3–5 ppm before soaking.
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always balance pH (7.2–7.6) and total alkalinity (80–120 ppm) before adding the 2 oz sodium bromide and activating shock. In hard water areas where calcium hardness exceeds 400 ppm, scaling can coat tabs in your floater and slow their dissolve rate, so test your fill water early.
Common Questions & Instructions
Why do I need the 2 oz sodium bromide packet before adding tablets?
Bromine tablets dissolve slowly and cannot establish an effective sanitizer residual on their own in freshly filled water. Adding 2 oz of granular sodium bromide immediately creates a bromide bank, which is then oxidized into active sanitizer by the 1 lb Activate Granular shock.
What are the ideal water balance targets when using this bromine kit?
Maintain pH between 7.2–7.6 and total alkalinity between 80–120 ppm before adding sanitizers. Keep the active bromine residual at 3–5 ppm using test strips. Unlike outdoor pools, spas using bromine do not require cyanuric acid.
Does this 2.875 LB start-up kit work with saltwater or ozone spas?
Yes, ozone generators actively assist in converting the bromide bank into active sanitizer, reducing chemical consumption. However, do not mix these chemicals directly with dry chlorine or other unapproved sanitizers in the same feeder.
