Can I use BROMINE tab's instead of chlorine tab's?

I would suspect so. It is just a fat pipe to hold a concentrated sanitizer, like bromine or chlorine.

I think to answer your question more fully...bromine is what they use in hot tubs because it is easier on the skin and has less odor than chlorine. I believe that it simply chemically breaks down into other compounds and dissipates, but you'd have to do further research and be a chemist to fully understand. Hope this helps.

I chose to use Bromine instead of Chlorine (just because I let my dogs swim and heard it was better for pets), and just used standard chemicals packaged for spas and hot tubs. It worked well. But you'll want to be diligent with chlorine/bromine and managing the acid levels as the included pool filter is not particularly strong and it doesn't take much for algae growth to start.

Yes, I have two pool men that live on the same block as I, they explained that chlorinating granular kill germs better then the bromide does. But make sure that you use only one and not to mix them. I only use one cap full at a time and my spa is clear and clean

Yes, I have a very large above ground pool, 18 x 39, and I use the Doheny shock and chlorine tablets. You just slowly pour the shock into the skimmer basket and drop the chlorine tablets into the skimmer basket as well.

The directions on the container say "use with your chlorine"... That being said, I don't know if they are compatible/useful in a saltwater system.

No Shauna, The clorine will mess up and counter the good you do with the salt. You really need to empty and start fresh with your bags of salt. Your pool will stay cleaner longer and is so much more economical and easier on the skin than chlorine. Just protect the digital display on your salt pump with a basket or something as the sun will destroy the read-out and you won't be able to program it. This was my mistake. Patti

Mix two tablespoons in a quart of warm ( not hot ) water. Use a plastic or glass container. NEVER,NEVER ever mix with bleach, it will form poisoness chlorine gass that in a close area can be fatal !!!................Uncle Sam

No. Chlorine can only be removed by distillation, a charcoal filter, or reverse osmosis. Charcoal can only remove so much, then it must be changed. John

No. Leave them on, they're water dissolvable. I've been using these Miele tabs for almost three years now and no problems. The little wrapper just dissolves.

I don't see why it wouldn't. The bromine tabs are round and ducky fits quite a few. There is quite a bit of room for tablets even if they are capsule type tabs. I love the one we have for the hot tub. It lets you know when low because it kinda tilts sideways in the water.

Only need to use chlorine tablets in floating basket. No other chemical are needed beyond the initial shock and occasional muratic acid.

Yes, I have a chlorinator full of chlorine tablets that puts a steady dose of chorine into the pool, but I didn't ever have to put extra in to shock the pool. This shock was amazing. I've always had trouble with algae but I didn't see ANY this year.

Never testing them with chlorine, but I have been using boiler antifreeze in a set of Eight panels for several years now. The internal tubing is 5/8 copper.

The bromine would disinfect, but probably a gallon of clorox in a tub of water would be just as good if you ran the tub for 15 to 20 minutes. Just sayin.

The unit accommodates 2, 3" chlorine tablets. They fit into the chlorine dispenser tray that slides out the side of the Solar-Breeze. As the unit moves around the pool, the water passes through the tray where the chlorine tablets are located and they dissolve over time. In this way the chemical is dispensed evenly throughout the pool. For those who use bromine, you can use bromine tablets and it will dispense them in the same way.

Hello. Yes, u can use a good sized kitchen knife or a pill cutter if you can find one large enough. Make sure it's a clean cut. You don't want the tab to crumble.
