Bromine tablets Q-Brom

Bromine tablets for swimming pools

Does the smell of chlorine bother you, sometimes an excess of chlorine makes your eyes itchy or irritates your skin? We can offer you an alternative to chlorine that disinfects pool water with the same degree of effectiveness, bromine. It is a powerful oxidant that is very effective against bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as eliminating impurities from the water.

The combination of bromine with organic amines (water) results in compounds called bromamines. Bromamines do not cause eye irritation or unpleasant odors. For this reason they are highly recommended for indoor pools and spas but can also be used for all types of indoor and outdoor pools.

Advantages of bromine over chlorine

• It is an effective disinfectant for swimming pools (bacteria, algae, fungi...)
• Its disinfectant power tolerates pH variations between 7 and 8
• Destroys all organic matter present in the water 
• No eye irritation or unpleasant odor
• Maintains its disinfection effectiveness up to 40ºC, that is why it is so used in spas and indoor pools
