SWIM N SPA SANITIZER & SHOCK: BROM 61 (1.5 LB)

Keep pH between 7.2-7.6 and never allow it to fall below 7.0. The treatment necessary for your pool or spa will change considerably depending upon those
factors that burden the disinfection system. Some of the factors that will vary the required treatment are water temperature, bather load, exposure to windblown
debris, thunder, rain storms, and length of filtration cycle.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT:
Bromochloro-5, 5-dimethylhydantoin....................98%
OTHER INGREDIENTS:...........................................2%

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

SPAS AND HOT TUBS: Before initially using this product in your spa or hot tub you will need to add 1/2 oz. of sodium bromide for each 100 gallons of water.
The same treatment must be followed each time you drain and refill your spa or hot tub with fresh water. Introduce 3 tablets per 300 gallons of spa water
with the use of a floating tablet feeder or automatic brominator installed on the spa equipment. Adjust tablet feeder or brominator to obtain an active
bromine residual of at least 2 ppm. Maintain spa by adding 3 tablets per 300 gallons every 5-7 days or as needed to maintain an active bromine residual
of 2 ppm at all times. Spa water has a tendency to foam and cloud; this is directly proportional to the amount of spa use. Cloudiness is due to the
accumulation of body fats, oils and contaminants too small for the filtration equipment to remove, and is linked to rapid escalation of total dissolved
solids in the water. To a great extent, defoamers, clarifiers, as well as shock treatments, demineralizers, or sequestering agents can be used to clear the
water. When water clarification cannot be achieved, drain, clean, and refill the spa.


SWIMMING POOLS: In newly filled pools, shock the pool if necessary. Follow directions for use on this label to establish an effective active bromine residual
of between 2 and 3 ppm. Test water frequently using a reliable bromine test kit. Adjust the flow rate through the brominator if necessary, to maintain the
active bromine residual. The following treatments are provided as general recommendations. Automatic and floating brominators have use instructions
peculiar to their design. Frequently a brominator must be filled to capacity every week – while the adjustments allow the user to erode only the total
amount of this product necessary for proper sanitization. As suggested below, the slow dissolving nature of the chemical combined with the design
features of the brominator requires that a greater amount of chemical be exposed to the water.


RESIDENTIAL: Add 17 tablets per 10,000 gallons every 5-7 days or as needed to maintain a bromine residual of 2-3 ppm at all times. Apply a weekly
treatment through the use of a floating tablet feeder or an automatic brominator which will allow you to adjust the amount of bromine entering the water.


COMMERCIAL: Add 31 tablets per 10,000 gallons every 5-7 days or as needed to maintain an active bromine residual of between 3 and 5 ppm at all times.

NOTE: BROM 61 CAN ONLY BE SHIPPED TO ILLINOIS, IOWA & WISCONSIN!
