SunGuard PTBS-202 Bromoplus Tablet, 4 lb Pail, Faint Halogen, White

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 the level of harmful microorganisms in the water. 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), are the most popular method of pool brominating. As the Brominating tablets dissolve, both hypobromous acid and hypochlorous acid are released, hence the excellent disinfection properties of the compound.
