Description

SpaPure Brom Bank is a liquid sodium bromide that builds the bromide reserve — the "bromide bank" — that every bromine-sanitized spa needs to work properly. It's the essential first step when you start up a bromine spa or refill it with fresh water, added before your brominating tablets.

Here's the part that trips up new bromine owners: brominating tabs alone are slow to protect a fresh fill. Bromine works by maintaining a reserve of bromide in the water that gets converted to active sanitizer — and on brand-new water, that reserve doesn't exist yet. Without it, a fresh fill can sit underprotected for a long time while the tabs slowly build the bank on their own. Brom Bank establishes that reserve instantly, so your bromine level comes up fast and the spa is protected from the start.

It's not a sanitizer on its own — it's the foundation that makes your bromine sanitizer work. Use it at every fresh fill and your bromine system runs the way it's supposed to, with no chlorine odors and no frustrating startup downtime.

Pro Tip: Brom Bank is the single most-missed step in bromine spa care. New owners load up the floater with tabs, wonder why the bromine reading stays near zero for days, and end up dumping in more tabs than they need. Seed the bank first with Brom Bank on every fresh fill, and your bromine comes up quickly and stays stable.

  • No chlorine odors — keeps your spa fully bromine-based
  • Essential at every refill — use on the initial fill and after every drain-and-refill
How It Works

Brom Bank adds sodium bromide to the water, creating a reserve of bromide ions. On their own, those bromide ions are inactive — they aren't a sanitizer. But once your brominating tabs (or a shock) introduce an oxidizer, that oxidizer converts the bromide reserve into active bromine that sanitizes the water. The more reserve you've banked, the faster and more steadily your bromine level establishes.

This is also why bromine is so efficient once it's running: as active bromine gets "used up," it reverts to bromide and rejoins the bank, ready to be reactivated again by your next shock. Brom Bank simply gives that cycle a full reserve to start from, instead of waiting for the tabs to build it slowly.

Pro Tip: Remember the order: bank, then tabs. Balance your water, add Brom Bank to establish the reserve, then load the brominating tabs into your floater or feeder. Adding the tabs first without a bromide bank is what leaves a fresh fill under protected — the sequence is what makes bromine work.

Directions for Use

Never mix different products together in the same bottle or pail. Add this product directly to the spa water. Use when filling your spa for the first time and whenever the spa has been drained and refilled. Add Brom Bank before dispensing bromine tablets. For reference, 1 capful = 1/2 ounce.

  1. Balance the water (pH and total alkalinity) to the proper ranges.
  2. Turn on the circulation system.
  3. Add 2 ounces per 100 gallons of spa water to establish the bromide reserve.
  4. Introduce the bromine tablets to the spa (in a floater or feeder) and follow the recommendations for your sanitizer to bring the bromine level into range.
  5. Repeat the Brom Bank step each time the spa is drained and refilled.

Pro Tip: Don't re-dose Brom Bank weekly — it's not a maintenance additive. Once the reserve is established on a fresh fill, your tabs and shocks keep the bromide cycle going. You only rebuild the bank when you start over with fresh water, so a single bottle goes a long way across multiple fills.

Compatibility

SpaPure Brom Bank is for spas sanitized with bromine. It's designed to work hand in hand with SpaPure Brominating Tabs — Brom Bank establishes the reserve, the tabs maintain the bromine level — and with an oxidizing shock, which reactivates spent bromide back into active bromine.

Balance your pH and total alkalinity before dosing, and use bromine test strips to confirm your level. Because it's a bromide builder rather than a sanitizer, it's a startup and refill product, not a daily additive. Never mix it with other chemicals in the same bottle or pail; add it directly to the spa water.

SpaPure® Brand FAQs

What is SpaPure, and who makes it?

SpaPure is a line of spa and hot tub water care products from Haviland Pool & Spa, a 100% employee-owned American manufacturer with more than 55 years of pool and spa experience. Haviland's Pool & Spa division began in 1968 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and all SpaPure products are made in the USA.

Is SpaPure formulated specifically for spas, or is it pool chemicals in smaller bottles?

SpaPure is engineered specifically for spas and hot tubs. Spa water is a different challenge from pool water — far less volume, a much higher bather load per gallon, and hotter temperatures that accelerate everything. SpaPure's formulas are concentrated and dosed for that environment rather than scaled-down pool products.

Can I use SpaPure products with my chlorine, bromine, or salt water system?

Yes. SpaPure makes products for chlorine, bromine, and salt/mineral programs, plus balancers, shocks, clarifiers, and specialty treatments that work alongside any of them. Match the sanitizer-specific products to your system, and use the balancers and oxidizers regardless of which sanitizer you run. If you're not sure what fits your setup, a quick water test will point you to the right products.

Why buy SpaPure from an authorized dealer like Leisure Time Inc.?

Buying from an authorized dealer means you get fresh, correctly stored product — spa chemicals degrade with age and poor storage — backed by people who can actually help you use it. Leisure Time Inc. has carried spa water care for decades, and our team can match products to your specific spa and water chemistry. Chemicals sold far below market price on third-party marketplaces are often expired, mishandled, or gray-market, with no support behind them.

Why do some SpaPure products ship ground only and can't be returned by mail?

Certain spa chemicals — chlorine and bromine products, oxidizers, and some acids — are classified as hazardous materials by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Federal regulations require them to ship by ground rather than air and prohibit consumers from mailing them back. Products with this restriction are noted on the product page. If you have unopened chemicals you no longer need, you can return them in person at one of our showrooms or contact us about your options.

How do I know which SpaPure products my spa needs?

Start with a water test. Testing tells you what your water actually needs instead of guessing — which sanitizer level to adjust, whether to balance pH or alkalinity, and when to shock. You can test at home with SpaPure test strips, or bring a water sample to any Leisure Time showroom for free in-store testing and a product recommendation. You can also call us and we'll walk you through it.
