Just want to verify that this works with bromine... I see some other reviews mentioning use in bromine tubs but want to be certain?

Regrettably, I am unfamiliar with Baqua....but in researching, it looks like Baqua requires you to use 2 other products in conjunction with their shock... but Renew is a non chlorine shock and requires no other product to help it work better... and it really does work great! It dissolves quickly and does remove any residue and such from the spa tub... we have an ozinator on our unit which also helps... if you don't have one, its well worth the investment. We have never had to change out our water, and we only use the products listed! We do use a Nature2 Spa Mineral Stick inside our filter as it helps keep the water softer, more balanced and clearer as well. Hope this helps and good luck~ Regrettably, I am unfamiliar with Baqua....but in researching, it looks like Baqua requires you to use 2 other products in conjunction with their shock... but Renew is a non chlorine shock and requires no other product to help it work better... and it really does work great!

You can use this in a spa. The Leisure Time brand is actually a spa chemical line. Not sure why it is in the Swimming Pool Bromine category.

I live in San Antonio and the people at the pool and spa supply store told me not to worry about alkalinity just the ph up and down. So i dont use alkalinity chemicals . As for the other two they told me to dilute before putting into tub because they might be harsh on the tub. I use the foam down and the bromine tablets also. Leisure time is recommended by the store as well. Also, wait about 15 minutes between chemicals

I have personally found chlorinating granules to be better than bromide. I feel they do a better job. I just sprinkle a little bit in (about a teaspoon) each time we use the hot tub.

Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great. I would try it , with taking care on tightening clamp and watch how is seems to be adjusting , watching both tub side and grab bar. I found after initial tightening to go back a tighten once again. I found it very safe, very handy, Think it might also depend on just how much weight you would be pulling against it from sitting position. If you just are going to use it to stabilize yourself getting into and out of the tub, should work for you. Very satisfied with mine. Just always use caution in and out of the tub with any product. Always check on clamp is tight. Try it! Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great.

I'm not a scientist unfortunately. I can tell you it does work. You won't get your answers on here. I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer.

Though I have not used with the specific soap you indicated, I cannot see there being a problem. I use with all dawn products and some are thicker than others. Love this gadget.

Hi! I've owned and used a hot tub now for about 10+ years. I've tried the chemical tests and all that. They are a pain. This is what I do for our San Antonio water in my small hot tub. When I change water, I use about a third of this ph decreaser. I add about three heaping caps every day until I used about a third of the bottle. I use about a tablespoon of bromine when the water is changed, then about the same every time I use the hot tub. The only I may add additional ph decreaser is if the walls of the tub change the way they feel (a little greasy). Anyway, using these two chemicals work great for me in San Antonio. Enjoy your tub and use it often! Hi! I've owned and used a hot tub now for about 10+ years. I've tried the chemical tests and all that. They are a pain.

If true that this uses bromate, bromates are proven to disturb the thryoid gland. Not good if this is true.

I did my entire fiberglass tub with it. It's great. I cleaned the tub thoroughly until it sparkled, rinsed it and then washed again with rubbing alcohol. It will also work on steel tubs. Just make sure tub is clean before applying. Mine has been on for months now and there is no peeling!

Yes, this will definitely work, but you will need either half of one of the big tablets or 2 of the tiny tablets inside for them to work. A little goes a long way. For the WHOLE tub to turn blue or whatever, we use 4 of the big tablets if that helps at all. :)

I am wondering if one of these is enough to work in a small hot tub? I am looking for a hot tub that is around 250 gallons. 1. Would I need to use 2 of these or is one sufficient? and 2. would I use it all the time or periodically?

I use it in a pool, but the same applies to the hot tub as a pool. I would say it works.

My best guess is NO. If it's not the same number it's probably not the same strength reagent. If you have the brochure that came with the kit, it explains that there are different concentrations of reagents and different strengths will give inaccurate results.

This canister can hold 3 in, 1 in, and stick chlorine tablets. Size would be no problem. I'm not familiar with bromine tablets. I have put 12 3 in tablets in my dispenser at one time.

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.
