What the AI looks for in Swimming Pool Bromine
- Indoor or shaded use
- Best suited to indoor, covered or heavily shaded pools and spas Cyanuric acid does not protect bromine from sunlight.
- Feeder compatibility
- Use tablets only in floaters or erosion feeders rated for bromine, and never in a feeder that has held chlorine Mixing bromine and chlorine tablets in one feeder can react dangerously.
- Target level
- Bromine is typically held at a higher ppm than chlorine, roughly 3 to 5 ppm Bromine is measured differently and is less potent per ppm.
- Test compatibility
- Your test kit or strips must read bromine specifically Chlorine-only tests give misleading readings.
Brands that matter
- Leisure Time: Spa and pool bromine specialist.
- Clorox Pool&Spa: Consumer bromine tablet sizes.
- BioGuard: Dealer-channel bromine products.
What to avoid
- Switching from chlorine to bromine in a stabilized outdoor pool
- Putting bromine tablets in a chlorine feeder
- Expecting bromine to be odor- or irritation-free if levels are mismanaged
Questions
Can I switch back to chlorine later?
Yes, but residual bromide converts added chlorine into bromine, so you'll be effectively on bromine until the water is partly drained and replaced.
