Choosing between Bromine and Chlorine

BROMINE ADVANTAGES

• More stable at higher temperatures than chlorine
• More potent at higher pH levels than chlorine
• Bromides are reactivated by superchlorinating
• Bromamines are still active sanitizers, with low odor
• Adds no cyanuric acid or calcium to the water

BROMINE DISADVANTAGES

• Bromine tablets are more expensive than chlorine
• Bromine is not as widely available as chlorine
• Bromine is not as effectively stabilized from the sun

CHLORINE ADVANTAGES

• More widely available than bromine
• Much cheaper than bromine, up to 40% less
• Can be stabilized from the sun with cyanuric acid
• Higher percentage of available sanitizer

CHLORINE DISADVANTAGES

• Chloramines are weak sanitizers and gas-off more readily
• Less effective at high pH levels above 7.8
• Stabilized chlorine products add cyanuric acid, which can rise too high
• Warm or hot water temperatures rapidly depletes chlorine
