Hey everyone, I am going absolutely crazy with this hot tub and I’m about to literally throw it into the middle of the street. I purchased a hot tub called an artesian 735. It has a ozonator built-in. Whenever I receive the hot tub, no one told me that I was not allowed to use bromine because of the ozonator. I have been using spa bromine pucks as my sanitizer. However, once in a while, I have been throwing in a little bit of a product called granulated bromine, which has 14% sodium bromide. After reading the label on the product says you’re not allowed to use this with an ozonator I have called literally 100 different Hot Tub store and no one knows what happens when you put sodium bromide in a hot tub with an ozonator. I am absolutely terrified as my kids have used it. I am concerned that I have done something to hurt them. Does anyone know what happens?????
Losing my mind with this hot tub

Nothing bad happens except the ozone consumes the bromine.

- Ozone reduces bromine residual to 1 PPM. Careful not to over-brominate when paired with ozone; it's easy to do. Make sure your bromine test strips can read low-levels of bromine so you are not forced into using the typical 3-5 PPM. In high doses, ozone and bromine will eat each other up so you use more bromine, hot tub looks and smells bad, and you wonder, "what happened?" REDUCE your bromine to 1 PPM.
Ty for your reply here in Canada they have banned using bromine with ozone because it causes bromate which is toxic? My sodium bromide says do not use with ozonator why would does it cause bromate?
Hello
I live in Canada and I’ve been told bromine is banned with ozone,UV and electrolysis
I have an ozonator and I have been using bromine and also a little bit of sodium bromide for shock. I am concerned with health risks. They are involved with continuing this process why my country banned bromine?
