Where to find cheap brom tabs (for spas and also this toilet cleaning system, see description)
-
Anyone remember this deal on the Kaboom! toilet sytem from a few years ago?
https://phatwalletforums.com/topic/12217/kaboom-scrub-free-toilet-cleaning-system-3-36-a-c-fsss-amazonI got two of these and am still using them, being quite pleased at how simply and well they work. Instead of buying more expensive branded tablets from the mfr., I got these standard 1-inch brom tabs via Amazon S&S. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O5ZZ4W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They worked great, I got a good deal at the time (less than $18 for the tub), and they lasted three years for two toilets in my house. But these are no longer available at Amazon, and I can’t seem to find an inexpensive replacement. Amazon hasn’t offered any via S&S lately, at least. The price of brom tabs seems to have really shot up in recent years.Anybody still using this Kaboom! system and have a good source on brom tabs?

The granular one is still available. I guess that won’t work for the system?

I did see this and have considered it. Technically, it should work, but the system is designed to use standard 1-inch tabs. It’s easy to load a couple at a time into the compartment. It would be harder to fill the chamber with granules without making a mess and some of them falling into the toilet tank, which you don’t want to happen as they can be corrosive. (The system connects through the water supply so the treated water only goes directly into the bowl during flushing.)
Amazon does still sell standard 1-inch tabs, but none via S&S as far as I’ve seen lately, and they are expensive.

Have you tried your local pool store? The stock on chrlorine and bromine is still ridiculously low, but your local one might have them. I use them in the hot tub, but bought them last year clearanced at Walmart.

No, I’m sure I can find them. My issue isn’t being able to get them, it’s getting them CHEEP.

@yoregano what do you consider cheap? I have never bought pool or spa chemicals from Amazon as they have always been overpriced there. Try the Lowes or home Depot types of stores. Also grocery stores like Meijer and Walmart clearance that stuff if they had any. Saw it last year in Ollie’s but they didn’t get much chemicals in this year.

Good question. The 2.2-lb bottle I mentioned was $17.50 (granted that was three years ago).
