Bromine is a powerful oxidant, ideal for disinfecting the water in the pool with the same effectiveness as Chlorine.
Unlike Chlorine, however, it does not give off an unpleasant smell, nor does it irritate the mucosa and is much more tolerant of temperature increases and pH variations. It is, therefore, suitable for covered swimming pools with heat pumps and spas.
Hypobromous acid (HBrO) reacts by forming bromoamine. Unlike chloramine, bromoamine are disinfecting and work in a similar way to hypobromous acid. The hypobromous acid gets on with its sanitising action and in turn transforms into bromide ions
ADVANTAGES
- POWERFUL OXIDANT POWER.
- SIGNIFICANT TOLERANCE TO pH (UP TO 7.5) EVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF NITROGEN COMPOUNDS IT DOES NOT LOSE ITS EFFECTIVENESS.
- EYES AND MUCOSA ARE LESS IRRITATED.
- IT DOES NOT GIVE OFF AN UNPLEASANT SMELL.
- IT IS LESS CORROSIVE THAN Chlorine (LESS VOLATIVE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH TEMPERATURES).
- EASY TO MAINTAIN.
