If you have a salt water hot tub or pool, you shouldn't need to add any extra chlorine.
I am the pool operator at our local YMCA and we have a salt system with a Chloromatic chlorine generating cell. Rarely do we add any extra chlorine, only in cases of decontamination and/or shocking.
Bromine does do better than chlorine in higher temps.

How do you handle chlorine and bromine in the laboratory?
Working with chlorine gas is very dangerous, chlorine gas is extremely poisonous. If you need to work with chlorine gas you need to wear protective clothing, work in a fume hood with gloves. do not attempt to produce it yourself.
How can you remove chlorine from well Water?
You would need to install a water filtration system that also removes Chlorine from the water. Well water normally does not have chlorine it it so the source of the contamination would need to be determined and removed, or a new well drilled.
Do you need chlorine tablets in pool?
If you want the water to stay clean and disease-free, than yes.you dont NEED to use chlorine tablets. you can use the other kinds of chlorine there are.
Does metal free take out chlorine?
No, metal-free does not have the ability to remove chlorine from water. Metal-free is typically a product used to sequester or bind metal ions in the water to prevent staining or other issues. To remove chlorine from water, you would need to use a chlorine neutralizer or a water filtration system that is designed to remove chlorine.
What would happen if we didn't have chlorine in the body?
Chlorine is not nutrient we need in our body, like other vitamins. Chlorine is needed to keep diseases out of water.
What are the pros and cons of chlorination in swimming pools?
Chlorine specifically or all types of sanitizers. You need to have a sanitizer to keep the water clean. Chlorine and Bromine are the two most popular. There is other less common sanitizers. And remember, using a salt system does not mean you don't have chlorine. A salt system uses the salt to generate chlorine in the water.

Is bromine an alternative to chlorine for cleaning a pool?
Bromine, from what I can gather, is usually used in spas, since there is less of an odor. I believe that it is possible to use bromine as a sanitiser for an indoor pool. Salt is another alternative. Basically you need a unit called a Salt Cell, which passes an electric current through the water and converts salt into chlorine and back again, hence sanitising your pool. Very, very good alternative - they cost less and are less harsh than chlorine by itself.
How do you convert a fresh water hot tub to a salt water hot tub?
Although ordering the spa as a "salt water" hot tub when you buy it is easier, as there is some plumbing work required, you can retrofit either a bromine salt generator or chlorine salt generator and create your own "salt water spa".There is a misnomer about salt water hot tubs in that you still have to create the chemical chlorine or bromine in order to sanitize the water. Only with a salt generator this process happens automatically, but you must establish either a bromine salt reserve or a chlorine salt reserve depending on the system you are using.You will save the trip to the store for chlorine or bromine, but you still need to add the salt when you refill the spa or when you top up the water.To convert, the bromine salt cell is plumbed into the water line and the control unit is mounted to the spa. A hot tub tech can do this for you. Sometimes you may save by already having the salt generator and just having someone hook it up and add it to the plumbing.There is no switching. But you do have to install a chlorine generator. The generator makes the chlorine from the salt you add. But why go through all the hassles and expense?A better bet would be to use Bromine, it was developed for use in hot tubs. Besides at high temps. chlorine will vent off in a gas form and probably run you off.
Can you use a salt water chlorine generator plus ozone?
Yes you can use an Ozone generator and a Chlorine generator together. The Ozone generator will actually extend the life of the cell on the Chlorine generator because the ozone takes care of the bulk of the oxidation workload, thus the Chlorine generator does not need to be run as hard.
Does plants need chlorine?
Not really.
Why are fluorine chlorine bromine and iodine placed in the same group?
Fluorine, chlorine bromine and iodine have seven electrons in their valence shells, and they all need one electron to have stabilized electron configuration. Therefore they are grouped in Group 17 (halogen group) of periodic table.
What is the advantage of ozone over chlorine in public pools?
Ozone is rarely used as a primary pool treatment. If ozone is used, bromine is the steriliant of choice, since you only need to add it a few times a year (lower vapor pressure than chlorine). Ozone reactivates the bromine, and is destroyed in the filter. Ozone is hazardous for lungs. Using ozone tends to reduce the THM and HAA that chlorine can form in pool water. It can also reduce the amount of water "blown down", since fewer chemicals need to be used. And fewer chemical deliveries. When you turn power off, ozone is gone. Chlorine stays, and stays hazardous.
If tap water is not good for goldfish what kind of water do you suggest Bottled water Distilled water?
You need to buy a chlorine-free bottle, to get rid of the chlorine from the water. Since no fish can live inside chlorine. And chlorine is mixed with tap water.
Which chemical is added to water in swimming pools to keep water clean?
chlorine that's what you can smell at swimming pools too New ans: If you can smell chlorine at an outdoor pool means that the pool does not have enough chlorine in it to sanitize the water. More needs to be added to meet minimum standards set by local and regional codes. It also means that the people responsible for maintenance are not doing their jobs correctly. It also means that you could be more suseptable to a desease or infection of some sort. - chlorine and bromine for desinfection (characteristic smell) - algaecide - kills algae - water balance chemicals - to adjust acidity and alkalinity and remove water minerals
What jobs would need to know about chlorine?
The jobs that will need to know about chlorine are jobs that deal with the water flow.
How can you remove chlorine from well Water?
You would need to install a water filtration system that also removes Chlorine from the water. Well water normally does not have chlorine it it so the source of the contamination would need to be determined and removed, or a new well drilled.
