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.
What else can I help you with?
How to down bromine in Hot tub?
Try exposing the water to sunlight, the U.V. will cause the Bromine to burn out more quickly. Also when checking your chemicals keep in mind that most chlorine and bromine free shocks will reactivate a little bit of the old bromine. If you are testing your water for bromine levels try shocking it first, wait a little bit and then test for bromine.
What chemicals do you put in your pool after you fill it with water?
After filling your pool with water, you typically add pool shock to disinfect and kill bacteria, algae, and other contaminants. You also add chlorine to establish a residual chlorine level and maintain water sanitation. Additionally, you may need to balance the pH levels of the water using pH increaser or decreaser.
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.
Would there ever be a need to add chlorine tablets to a salt water pool?
If the chlorine generator inst run sufficient time or there is a period where an exesive amount of bio material enters the water a litle additional chlorine may at times be an advantage rather then run the filtration equipment longer.
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.
What are bromine chlorine and salt water pool cleaners?
Bromine is an additive that you put in a pool to sanitize the water. Chlorine is an additive that you put in a pool to sanitize the water. Salt is added to some pools to allow it to be converted electronically to chlorine with a salt water chlorinator.
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.
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.

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.

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
