You had to have added bromine.

That is not necessarily true. I have only put tap water, shock and chlorine tabs in a floater and my bromine readings are off the chart.

You added chlorine at presumably the correct rate for the make of disinfectant and your pool's water volume - but brominereadings too high? Test for chlorine instead: I don't know the relative sensitivities of either meters or reagents to chlorine & bromine, but you can't expect sensible answers if you read the wrong chemical.

You don't specify the shock chemical so that may be the culprit, but it should soon break down.

What causes high bromine levels?

Assuming you have a bromine delivery system such as a floater or feeder and you have tablets in the floater, as bromine dissolves the concentration gets higher in the water. Turn the delivery system down or off until the level drops into the acceptable range.

Can you swim if the bromine level is high?

Yes the only way to get the bromine level down is by getting in. You just dont want to get it right after you have used the bromine powder. If you are using a bromine floater with tablets and its getting too high all the time switch the setting on the floater to less hole opening. I also recommend while using the floater in a hot tub is to take it out while using the hottub as it gets in the way. Espacially if its a high level so that it can come down.

Is bromine lethal?

Yes , it certainly is! If a drop of liquid bromine gets on your skin, it will immediately form an ulcer that will not heal, will spread, and requires urgent medical attention. Bromine vapour is also extremely hazardous! That is the answer for the simple substance elemental dibromine. The element bromine, as expressed in bromide salts, is somewhat more controversial. The mainstream consensus is that there is a certain level -- a very low level -- below which it is harmless, and possibly even essential. The alternative view is that any level of bromide at all is harmful. Certainly it is quite toxic at medium to high levels.


Is bromine used in hot tubs?

If there are high levels of either chlorine or bromine in a hot tub, then these chemicals can be irritating to the skin. Absorbing high levels of bromine can also lead to iodine deficiencies in the body. Chlorine is typically safer.
