PacifiClear F038004032PC Brominating Sanitizer, 4 lb Pail, Tablet

Pools and spas are extremely vulnerable to illness causing bacteria or other contaminants introduced into the water by bathers and spa users. Sanitizers and disinfectants provide protection for swimmers by reducing level of harmful microorganisms in water and continually killing the bacteria. Bromine based sanitizers are strong, effective disinfectants. They kill harmful bacteria, aid in algae control and help keep the pool clean and clear. These sanitizers also leave a beneficial bromine residual in the water that continually destroys new bacteria entering the pool, protecting swimmers from potentially harmful contaminants and therefore should be a critical part of any pool care program. Brominating tablets, commonly called BCDMH (1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin)is the most popular method of pool bromination. As the brominating tablets dissolve, both hypobromous acid and hypochlorous acid are released, hence the excellent disinfection properties of the compound.
