If you are using FROG Serene®, then you know you have a Mineral Cartridge and a Bromine Cartridge, but you may be wondering why not a chlorine cartridge?
Both proven and effective sanitizers, here is a quick look at the differences between bromine and chlorine:
| Chlorine (Dichlor) | Bromine | |
| Dispense Method | Must be hand-fed by the capful or spoonful into the water | Most often used in a floating device |
| How Often Needed | Usually every few days or after every use | Floaters need refilling every 1-2 weeks |
| Rate of Dissolution | Dissolves quickly in hot water, which can sometimes gas off, creating an odor | Slow dissolving for a steady output |
| Affected by Water Balance | Chlorine is very dependent on maintaining a neutral pH | Bromine will continue to perform even when pH is off |
| Odor Causing | Odors are a sign the hot tub is in need of a shock treatment | Some odor is present when removing the cover but dissipates quickly |
| Shocking Info | Shocks are used to break up combined chlorine that is then caught in the filter | Shocks regenerate the spent bromine into active bromine |
This chart shows some of the areas where bromine outshines standard chlorine (dichlor):
- Less work with a slow dispensing sanitizer that lasts for weeks
- Less odor and a more effective technology that regenerates with shocking
- Perfect for floaters like FROG Serene
FROG Serene takes using bromine to a new level
FROG Serene’s prefilled cartridges allow you to adjust and dial in the amount of bromine to meet your needs. With FROG Minerals, you can reduce your bromine use up to 50%.*
When it’s time to replace a cartridge, the Serene system tips on its side. There’s no need to measure and spoon in granules or add tablets to a floater by hand. That means no more wondering how much to add and no more worry about smelly hands or spilling chemicals. No mess, no guess, no stress. Just clean, clear Fresh Mineral Water®∞.
As the bromine is used up in your hot tub, it’s easy to revitalize with a shock, like our FROG Maintain® non-chlorine shock. Shocking simply regenerates used bromine into active bromine. FROG Maintain comes in a one-dose pouch – cut it open, pour it into your hot tub water, and in 5 minutes, it’s ready!
*Compared to the ANSI recommended bromine level of 2.0 ppm for spas.
