How to switch from chlorine to bromine, or from bromine to chlorine?
Before changing sanitizing treatments, it is important not to mix chlorine and bromine directly in the same dispenser or feeder. Wait until the current treatment has completely dissolved and the sanitizer level in the water has dropped before adding the new product.
How to properly change the treatment in your water?
- Wait until the current treatment has almost disappeared
Before adding the new product, allow the chlorine or bromine already present to dissolve completely and make sure the sanitizer level in the water is very low. - Clean the dispenser or feeder
Thoroughly rinse the floating dispenser, chlorinator, or brominator before adding the new treatment. - Rinse or replace the filters
Clean the filter cartridges or filtration system to remove any residue from the previous product. - For a spa: draining the water is recommended
Because spa water is warmer and the water volume is smaller, it is best to completely drain the spa before switching from chlorine to bromine or from bromine to chlorine. - For a pool: a complete drain is not always necessary
However, you must wait until the sanitizer level is very low before starting the new treatment. - Test the water before starting again
Before adding the new product, test and adjust the alkalinity, pH, and sanitizer level to start with properly balanced water.
