BENEFITS OF USING BROMINE INSTEAD OF CHLORINE
Chlorine pucks have a shelf life and after one year half of the gas trapped in the powdered puck could escape. Bromine has no shelf life.
After Chlorine has killed bacteria it becomes inert, whereas bromine has an interesting property where adding spa shock to your spa like most users do regenerates bromine salt into bromine. This means with the addition of spa shock bromine will last much longer then chlorine.
Although chlorine can fight against algae more efficiently, Bromine is a more effective bacteria and virus killer.
Chlorine combines with nitrogen and ammonia in spa water, and the combination is responsible for the red eyes, itchy skin, and awful smell associated with chlorine spas. Bromine does not combine with ammonia or nitrogen in a way that produces these negative side effects.
In the high heat of a hot tub, chlorine is very active and tends to dissolve into its gas form quickly resulting in inefficiency. Bromine is not affected in the heat of a hot tub.
Chlorine losses 75% of its sanitation ability when it come in contact with the high Ph levels that tend to result from multiple users in a spa at once. Bromine is not affected by high Ph levels nearly as inefficiently.
