Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between this Bromine kit and the Chlorine kit?Bromine is more stable in hot water, has less of a chemical smell, and is generally gentler on the skin and eyes. Chlorine is slightly more aggressive and fast-acting. Both are excellent sanitizers, but bromine is often preferred for indoor hot tubs or by users sensitive to chlorine odors. Do I need a floating dispenser for this kit?Yes. The Brominating Tablets are designed to dissolve slowly over time. You will need a standard floating tablet dispenser (sold separately) to hold the tablets and regulate the sanitizer flow. How long will this kit last?This depends on the size of your hot tub and how frequently it is used. The balancers (Spa Up/Down) typically last several months, while the Brominating Tablets and Renew shock will usually need to be replenished after 1 to 2 months.
