I was given a lot of bromine tabs and am in the process of switching from Nature2 with dichlor to bromine. In my research there have been a few things that got my attention, this site has helped me a lot in finding answers, but I still have a few.
1) I read you don't mix dichlor and bromine, I imagine that you should not let them come in contact in their raw form as you can shock the bromine spa with dichlor. And since some bromine tabs contain both this baffles me. If I just need to keep them from touching in solid form, do I remove my bromine float when I add dichlor shock?
2) I also read that due to #1, that they should not even be stored near each other?? Do I need to keep them in separate area? I usually keep all my spa chems in a cupboard.
3) Lastly, I see warnings about using rubber chemistry gloves when handling bromine tabs, is that really necessary?
Thanks in advance for the help.
