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 treat high bromine levels in a swimming pool?
The product is called Thiotrine chlorine neutralizer, Bromine is a chlorine that has inert ingredients.No - bromine is not chlorine, although their actions as disinfectants are similar. They are two different chemical elements.Don't forget too that pool chemicals tend to be described very loosely by the primary element in their active compounds, not by the compound names.I had to look up Thiotrine, but find it contains neither bromine nor chlorine compounds because it is designed to neutralise both. It is Sodium Thiosulphate: Na2S2O3 (I can't type the correct subscripts here), i.e. a compound of Sodium, Sulphur and Oxygen, respectively.

Is bromine effective?
Bromine is very effective. We have used it in our inground pool since we installed the pool in 1982. The bromine is place in a brominator which is hooked up to the filter. Bromine is much gentler on bathing suits and does not give off a real strong smell like chlorine.
