Bromine Test Kits

Bromine Test Kits

What is Bromine?

Bromine is a naturally occurring oxidizer used for disinfecting water in some industries. It is commonly used in spas & swimming pools, and cooling towers. Bromine degrades more slowly in sunlight than chlorine and is sometimes used as a chlorine replacement, particularly when skin sensitivities are a concern.

Why Test for Bromine?

Bromine is typically measured to determine whether water disinfection programs are performing efficiently. Having too much bromine indicates an overuse of chemicals, leading to lost profit, while low bromine represents inadequate disinfection.

About our Test Kits

The water bromine test kit employs the DPD chemistry method. Potassium iodide is added to the sample before analysis. Bromine reacts with the iodide to liberate iodine. The iodine reacts with the DPD (N, N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) to form a pink color. Results are expressed in ppm (mg/L) bromine as Br2.
