I realize that this topic is...well flogged, but it would seem that there are a few different opinions on it, so I would like to rehash the question, but from a different perspective.
I was under the impression that Sodium Dichlor was different than Bromine? Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Sodium Dichlor not a stabilized form of Chlorine; Soda Ash, Cyanuric acid added to a trichlor base giving you about 60% chlorine. I was under the impression that Bromine is NOT Dichlor, but a compound of bromine and chlorine consisting of a 60% bromine and an available chlorine level of about 30%? The title on my bromine bottle reads "1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin"
Am I wrong, or is Dichlor different than Bromine? With all this talk of Trichlor and Dichlor, it has me wondering what excatly I am using to sanitize my spa
