Continuously regenerates bromine in a closed loop to disinfect and shock pools, spas and fountains with no chlorine, ever. Better disinfection at a wider PH range than chlorine. Does not burn eyes, dry skin, destroy pool surfaces or pumps. Bromine is a liquid, so no breathing toxic chlorine fumes. Kills algae on contact to reduce maintenance time and costs. Used by Holiday Inn, Sea World, YMCA’s, has EPA approval. Cost is for materials only - installation by local plumber or pool service should run about $250.00

| Advantages of Bromine over Chlorine | |||
| Much less pH dependent - easier to keep water balanced and use less at high pH! | |||
| pH | 7.0 | 7.5 | 8.0 |
| Effectiveness of bromine | 98% | 94% | 83% |
| Effectiveness of chlorine | 74% | 47% | 22% |
| Bromine and bromamines have no odor - significant reduction in eye, nose, hair, and throat irritation so it works great indoors and in fountains! | |||
| Does not gas off - much more effective in fountains and hot water applications such as spas and indoor pools. | |||
| Bromine is an algaecide, chlorine an algae stat - in normal pool operating conditions, bromine will kill algae while chlorine will only prevent it from growing. | |||
| Disinfecting ability not affected by bather wastes (ammonia) - need to shock less! | |||
| Significantly lower corrosion rate - bromine is 1/3 to 1/2 as corrosive as chlorine at equal effectiveness levels so pool equipment and surfaces last longer. | |||
| Unlimited shelf life - chlorine products have shelf lives between 1 mo. and 3 years. | |||
| Safer to handle and store - safer to transport and does not require special handling procedures, placards, or storage. | |||
