Leisure Time Sodium Bromide 2oz – Spa Bromine Start-Up Treatment
Start Your Spa Bromine System the Right Way
For spa owners who prefer a bromine sanitation system, starting correctly is essential. If you don't set up correctly, your bromine tablets might take too long to work. This can make your water unsafe and cloudy. That’s where Leisure Time Sodium Bromide 2oz comes in.
This quick-dissolving start-up treatment provides the perfect base for bromine sanitation by immediately introducing sodium bromide into the water. When used with a bromine oxidizer or tablets, it creates hypobromous acid. This acid is the active sanitizer that keeps your spa water clean, clear, and comfortable.
Leisure Time Sodium Bromide helps your spa work well from the start. This is true whether you are filling your spa for the first time or switching from chlorine to bromine.
Why Use Sodium Bromide in Spas?
Unlike chlorine systems, bromine requires a bromide reserve in the water to generate effective sanitizer. Tablets alone may not provide this reserve quickly enough, especially in freshly filled water.
Sodium bromide solves this by:
-
Establishing a bromide bank that activates when oxidized
-
Preventing gaps in sanitation during spa start-up
-
Helping bromine tablets work faster and more effectively
-
Reducing cloudy or unbalanced water in new fills
Without this crucial step, your spa may remain unsanitized for hours—or even days—after filling.

How It Works

The sodium bromide provides the bromide ions needed, and the oxidizer converts them into active bromine sanitizer.
