Welcome to our forum.
Ok, so here is what I came up with for bromine (I got to it sooner than I thought!). You guys can tell me what you think. I may come up with some other ones while I'm laying in bed or driving my car later.PROSWorks well in a wider range (especially higher) of pH than chlorine.Bromamines continue to kill while choramines do not.Bromamines do not cause cloudy water, strong odor, or skin and eye irritation.Can safely be added through a floater with out over dosing.Does not require daily addition of granules if using a floater.Does not require breakpoint oxidation to remove bromamines.Can use chlorine, bromine or MPS to regenerate bromamines.Bromine lasts longer than unstabilized chlorine.CONSLower pH than chlorine so it will cause TA to drop faster.Bromine’s lower pH causes it to be less efficient as chlorine at oxidizing oils.High levels of CYA cause bromine to be consumed 2 times or more faster than normal.If testing with phenol red, high levels of bromine will yield false pH test results.Conversion from bromine to chlorine requires a complete drain and refill.If anyone has questions on chloramines and/or bromamines, look at the thread about switching over to bromine. I got overly detailed there.
They both leave an odor.They both dry the skin.Con for bromine, it tends to be used incorrectly by people looking for no effort system.
