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 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.
What shampoo and soap washes out bromine?
Any shampoo and soap that can effectively remove chlorine should also work for bromine, as bromine is similar in its properties to chlorine. Look for a shampoo or soap specifically designed for swimmers or individuals exposed to pool chemicals, as these are formulated to remove chlorine and bromine residues from the hair and body.
What is 'shocking' is it done with both chlorine and bromine pool sanitizers?
When chlorine is added to pool water in the normal manual manner, it reacts with radicals (ammonia, sweat, bacteria etc) and supposedly oxidizes (kills) it. Most times the resultant compound is what is known as a chloramine, or 'chlorine compound' and these are what contribute to all fo the unfavorable aspects related to 'chlorine'. They smell bad, they hurt your eyes, they damage your skin, hair and bathing suit (etc etc). When you 'shock' a pool and raise the free-chlorine level to 10 times the level of the chloramines, the latter are broken down into filterable material and no longer possess their obnoxious properties. This is why a saline system works so well, because the water is constantly shocked as it passes through the electrolytic 'cell'. Therefore, no chlorine smell, no red eyes, no damaged skin, hair and bathing suits. I am not sure if you shock a bromine pool in the same way, but bromine is on its way out due to health concerns relating to 'bromates'. Search the internet for 'bromates' and see what you find. Already a couple of bromine generator companies have closed down reportedly due to the problem.
What does bromine smell like?
It smells more like chlorineIt smells like chlorine in a pool
What is bromine in a pool?
Bromine is a chemical used to disinfect pool water, similar to chlorine. It is often used as an alternative to chlorine because it is more stable at higher temperatures and a wider pH range. Bromine is effective at killing bacteria and algae in pool water.
What will prevent the pool from illness?
Chlorine/Bromine chemicals added to the water.
Is bromine like salt for a pool?

Is the chlorine produced in saltwater pool any different from a health or environmental perspective than chlorine used in chlorine pool?
salt water pools don't use chlorine salts, they are bromine salts. So yes, saltwater pool are better for you.
Does a salt water spa really need chlorine or bromine?
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.
Name four disinfection methods used to treat swimming pool and spa water?
Chlorine, bromine, uv, ozone.
How do you reduce bromine level in a pool?
To reduce bromine levels in a pool, you can dilute the water by adding fresh water. Alternatively, you can neutralize the excess bromine by adding sodium thiosulfate or a non-chlorine shock treatment. It's important to retest the water after making adjustments to ensure the bromine levels are within the recommended range.
What is cl br on pool test kit?
In a pool test kit, "Cl Br" refers to the testing for chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) levels in the water. Both chlorine and bromine are used as sanitizers to keep pool water clean and safe by eliminating bacteria and algae. Proper testing ensures that sanitizer levels are within the recommended range, helping to maintain water quality and swimmer safety. Regular monitoring is essential for effective pool maintenance.
