Simplify your hot tub chemicals with the Complete Bromine Box with SERUM – Hands-off spa treatment! For consistent, solid sanitation, turn to Bromine. Bromine is always in the water, making lapse in sanitizer much more rare and management of levels more stable. But watch out for spikes – Too high bromine readings can be difficult to correct, unsafe for bathers and spa components, and even require a partial drain of the spa to bring the level back into the safe range.

- Convenient pouch is premeasured for 450 – 500 gallons
- Helps to boost reserve after heavy use or in between water changes
SANITIZE PART 2: Bromine Tablets

Benefit from a highly effective sanitizer without worrying about Chlorine chloramines and the odor and irritation they cause. When used as directed, these easy-to-dose, low-odor, low-dust tablets sanitize water, keeping it clean and clear.
- 1″ tablets fit all floaters
- Best used with the MP Industries Locking Floater, which locks to the proper setting and prevents drifting levels caused by unreliable floaters, or with the Hydropool built in dispenser
SANITIZE PART 3: SERUM Total Maintenance

- A weekly minimum dose helps maintain cleaner plumbing and jet infrastructure.
- 1 ounce per 100 gallons weekly (easy, effective, and cost efficient)
- Aids in the prevention and re-occurrence of biofilm slime formations inside plumbing.
- Super clarifies your water to HD standards.

TEST: Leisure Time 4-Way Test Strips

Quick and easy-to-read strips that test for free chlorine/bromine, pH, alkalinity and total hardness.
- Free Chlorine/Bromine indicates the “active” amount of sanitizer in the water to protect bathers
- Alkalinity – ALK prevents sudden pH changes
- pH in ideal range prevents corrosion or scale and allows the sanitizer to work at maximum efficiency
- Total Hardness – TH indicates the level of Calcium and Magnesium in the water. The ideal range should be maintained to keep the water from causing corrosion or scale. Only needs to be checked at fill-up or significant top-offs.

Why do we love it? The Place’s own staff share their experiences with SERUM!
Check Bromine levels before use and weekly, reloading tablets into the dispenser once a week. You should only keep as many tablets in the dispenser as dissolve over the course of the week and open the dispenser only as much as necessary to achieve the necessary sanitizer level in the water. Weekly when loading tablets:
- Shock with Renew to activate the Bromine
- Run the pumps for 30 minutes with the cover completely off
- Check to see if levels are in the appropriate range. If too high, close up the dispenser. If too low, open the dispenser.
- Dose with SERUM once per week and shock with Renew weekly after loading tablets or any time Bromine dips below required level with tablets still in the dispenser.
- If you are shocking with Renew several times a week and struggling to maintain Bromine levels, more Sodium Bromide Reserve may be needed.
Always maintain proper pH and Alkalinity – the effectiveness of your sanitizer depends on it! For balancing products, see our Startup Kit or individual listings linked below. For more details and custom instructions and consultations, sign up for our digital spa care class!
Sodium Bromide:
Use during the start-up process of the Leisure Time Simple Spa Care Program.
- Circulate the water while adding 1/2 ounce of Sodium Bromide for every 100 gallons of spa water to establish a 30 parts per million bromide reserve. One 2oz packet will form a reserve in 400 gallons.
- Add Brom Tabs to a dispenser
- Shock with Renew to activate the Bromine
- After 30-45 minutes, test to ensure the Bromine level is in the appropriate range.
- NOTE: Leisure Time Sodium Bromide is not a sanitizer or a disinfectant. It is used to establish a reserve of bromide in spa or hot tub water. It is also necessary to use Brom Tabs to sanitize the water.

Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through skin. Causes eye irritation. For more information, see complete warning and instructions on packaging. Read all Precautionary Statements and First Aid on back panel before use. Always follow all directions and safety instructions. Rinse empty package thoroughly before recycling or discarding in trash. Non-refillable container. Do not reuse or refill the container.
Bromine Tablets:
Part two of establishing a total Bromine System. Danger: Do not mix this product in concentrated form with any other chemicals. Do not add other chemicals to the feeding device when using this product. A violent reaction leading to fire and/or explosion could result. Re-entry into treated spas is prohibited above levels of 8ppm due to risk of bodily injury.
- When filling or refilling the spa, always add Sodium Bromide first before Brom Tabs
- Adjust the opening of a suitable feeder, like the MP Locking Float, to the manufacturer’s guideline based on the gallons of your spa
- Load tablets into the dispenser, using only as many as dissolve over the course of the week rather than filling all the way (usually between 2 – 4 tablets).
- Shock with Renew to activate Bromine
- Test levels and ensure an active Bromine reading between 2 to 4 ppm
- Tablet usage necessary to maintain the recommended bromine concentration range will typically vary from 0.015 to 0.10 pound for every 300 gallons of spa water
- The presence of organic debris, high bather use and other factors may require a higher dosage
- SUPEROXIDATION: water soluble, non-filterable wastes can accumulate in spa or hot tub water and cause dull or cloudy water and can stimulate algal growth. Superoxidation with Renew must be done on a regular basis to remove these wastes and maintain clear sparkling water
