Welcome to our forum.
Bromine is a fine system.
Bromine will "coat" the N2 rocks rendering them ineffective.
I was under the assumption that clarifiers "coated" the silver ions. I believe the problem with bromine and N2 is that the bromine will cause an oxidation of the silver, thus leaving a staining problem (likely black or dark grey).
Man, you guys are all over this chemistry... So tell me...Why is my silver chain (necklace) now black and ugly, and how do I get it shiny again?... The Jacuzzi salesman didn't mention that...LOLJoeLovin' Jacuzzi 8-)
I believe, Joe, that the cause of your silver chain turning black is due to the bromine oxidizing the silver.Tony, The spa N2 cartridges typically don't contain copper, however I know the pool versions do. Copper will normally leave a green stain behind, where silver will turn black. I'll do a little more checking to make sure I'm correct, but I'm 90% positive on this. As for the Frog cartridges, I don't know enough about them to say for sure, but I'll look into those too. You've got me curious as to how/why those can be used with bromine.
