What element is used in disinfectant?
Bromine is used for the disinfectanting of swimming pools.
Can you use copper sulfate in swimming pools?
yes, just don't use too much I would not recommend using copper sulphate in a pool. It is an algaecide but it stains pools and is what causes hair to turn green. There are better algaecides available. It is not a sanitizer and is not a substitute for chlorine or bromine.
What Chemical is used to kill germs in swimming pools?
Chlorine, because of it's pH level. Some pools use salt, but Cl is most common. Home pool owners may occasionally just dump household bleach into their pools to "shock" it. This kills culturing algae and other lichens

Pool shock ingredients?
the ACTIVE ingredient in pool shock is either chlorine for chlorine based shocks (most commonly calcium hypochorite, sodium hypochlorite...which is the same as chlorine bleach, lithium hypochlorite and sometimes dichlor or trichlor...which are NOT good to use as shocks since they increase CYA and can lead to overstabilized pools!) or MPS (potassium monopersulfate) for non chlorine shock (which is more usedful for indoor chloirne pools and for chlorine spas than for outdoor pools for chemistry reasons that are complicated to explain.
