How the in.clear works
When sodium bromide (such as BromiCharge) is added
to the water, it separates into sodium ions and bromide
ions. As the water passes through the in.clear bromine
generator, a low-voltage source supplies a current
that electrolytically reduces the bromine ions into
bromine. The bromine destroys bacteria and algae,
and then releases bromide ions back into the water for
continuous recycling until the spa is emptied.
It is important to note that the amount of bromine
needed will vary in direct proportion to the number of
bathers in the spa (bather load).
Versions
There are two versions of the in.clear module: a stand
alone version that uses the in.k200 keypad directly,
and the linked version, which communicates with the
spa pack for more control and precision.
Effects of bromine
• Bromine destroys waterborne bacteria.
• Bromine destroys algae in water
(e.g. Black, Green, Mustard).
• Bromine swiftly eliminates the presence
of organic matter left behind by spa users
(e.g. oil, sweat, dead skin cells).
• Because bromine doesn’t contain calcium,
it can be used to sanitize hard water without
increasing the calcium hardness.
Bromine in a spa
Bacteria require a certain period of time before forming
into micro colonies and becoming attached to a surface.
Rapid elimination of bacteria is a key element in the
proper maintenance of the spa water. The in.clear
achieves this while oxidizing odors, reducing eye and
skin irritation. The in.clear enhances the clarity and
quality of spa water. For bathers this translates into
a more enjoyable warm water therapy experience.
