Bromide in the a/c strainer?

A guy on the river said I should buy some bromide tablets ( I think that's what he said) and put in the strainer for the a/c, that it would help keep all those lines cleaned out...anyone heard of this or anything similar?

    I have heard of that for a/c condensate lines. Not sure if it would affect the tubing. RY might know, he's Mr. A/C.

    I use bromine tabs in my spa to keep it clean w/o a chlorine smell. Cant say how it'd do to let it set for weeks at a time. Might get really concentrated. I just flush my ac after every use and it seems pretty happy.

    I bow to RY, I'm fresh water for the most part and I would think the system designed to not hold water that would grow crud and be a problem down the road....everyone seems to have a magic bullet, few of them are worthwhile...and may cause further damage. This stuff is not made to last forever, we just want to keep it that way!
