Sirona Spa Care Sodium Bromide
Product Overview
Establishing a bromine bank is the standard specification for spa owners who prefer a stable, low-odor alternative to chlorine.
Sirona Spa Care Sodium Bromide contains 99% Sodium Bromide and is used to create an initial bromide reserve in your spa or hot tub. By adding this high-purity salt to your water, you ensure that when an oxidizer is introduced, it immediately converts into active bromine to eliminate bacteria and organic contaminants. This formula is a proven choice for maintaining consistent sanitizer levels in high-temperature environments where traditional chlorine may struggle.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
99% Sodium Bromide Concentration
This high-purity formula ensures you aren't adding unnecessary fillers or binders to your spa water, keeping Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels manageable.
Bromine Bank Establishment
Creating a bromide reserve allows for a more stable sanitizing environment that is less sensitive to pH fluctuations than traditional chlorine systems.
System Versatility
This product reliably handles the sanitization load when paired with ozone generators or mineral purifiers, providing a multi-layered defense against pollutants.
Product Details
Sodium Bromide 99%
0.5 oz per 100 gallons to establish initial bromide bank.
Compatibility
- Compatible with chlorine, ozone, and mineral systems
- Do not mix dry chemicals together
- Wait 15-30 minutes for circulation before testing or soaking
When To Use This
Pro Tip
In hot climates or high-use spas, bromine is often preferred over chlorine because it remains effective at higher temperatures and its byproduct, bromamines, still possesses sanitizing properties.
Common Questions & Instructions
How much Sirona Sodium Bromide do I need for a new spa fill?
For a fresh fill, add 1/2 ounce of Sirona Sodium Bromide per 100 gallons of spa water to establish a 30 ppm bromide bank before adding your shock or sanitizer.
Does sodium bromide affect the pH or alkalinity of my hot tub?
Sodium bromide is essentially pH neutral and will not significantly impact your total alkalinity or calcium hardness levels, making it easier to maintain water balance.
Can I use sodium bromide in an outdoor chlorine pool?
While it can be used, it is primarily for spas; in outdoor pools, it converts the system to bromine, which cannot be stabilized with CYA and will dissipate quickly in sunlight.
