Starting or converting a spa to a bromine sanitation system requires one critical first step: establishing a bromide reserve in the water. Leisure Time Sodium Bromide 2oz is a fast-acting start-up treatment designed specifically for spas and hot tubs that use bromine as their primary sanitizer. Without this initial bromide base, bromine systems cannot function correctly—no matter how much oxidizer you add.

This quick-dissolving sodium bromide formula creates the foundation your spa needs so bromine can be generated efficiently and consistently. Whether you’re starting fresh after a drain and refill or converting from chlorine to bromine, this 2oz dose makes the process simple, controlled, and reliable.


Why a Bromine Start-Up Matters

Bromine systems don’t work the same way chlorine systems do. Sodium bromide is essential because it forms the reserve that oxidizers convert into active bromine:

  • Establishes a bromide bank so bromine can be generated

  • Prevents wasted oxidizer and inconsistent sanitation

  • Ensures fast, stable sanitizer activation

  • Supports clearer water and better odor control

Skipping this step often leads to weak sanitation, cloudy water, and unnecessary chemical use.


Designed for Spa & Hot Tub Bromine Systems

Leisure Time Sodium Bromide is formulated specifically for spa-scale water volumes, making it easy to dose accurately without measuring or mixing large quantities. The 2oz size is ideal for standard residential hot tubs and dissolves quickly when added directly to circulating water.

Once the bromide reserve is established, bromine tablets or shock treatments can convert it into active sanitizer as needed, delivering consistent water protection.


Ideal for New Fills and System Conversions

This product is commonly used in two scenarios: new spa water after draining and refilling, or when converting a spa from chlorine to bromine. In both cases, sodium bromide ensures the system starts correctly instead of trying to “catch up” later.

Using a proper start-up treatment helps stabilize water chemistry early and reduces long-term maintenance issues.


Simple, Fast Application

Leisure Time Sodium Bromide is easy to use. With the spa pump running, add the contents according to label directions, allow it to circulate, and then activate the bromine system using an oxidizer or bromine tablets. There’s no residue, no clouding, and no complicated steps.
