Chlorine V/s Bromine- Which is Better?

The world of hot tub chemicals can be very confusing. The two primary choices for sanitizers for your hot tub are chlorine and bromine tablets.

Choosing the best sanitizer for your spa is easy once you have weighed the pros and cons of both of them.

While the most common sanitizer used for the swimming pools is chlorine. Bromine is more often used for the hot tubs. Now, they perform the same job of killing the bacteria and mold, the difference lies in how they do it.

Chlorine oxidises contaminants, destroying them from within. Chlorine disperse and turns into chloramines which is a gaseous waste residue, this is what gives that pungent chlorine smell and also reduces the effectiveness of the sanitizer.

This is why it is done on a regular basis, to not let dirt and bacteria accumulate. This keeps chloramines at bay as not a lot of chlorine is used at once and if it’s really bad you would need to give a hot tub shock treatment.

Bromine tablets for hot tub on the other hand ionize the contaminants. It forces apart their molecular bonds. It actively works on them even after getting mixed with the contaminants. This also leaves a residue called bromamines. These don’t emanate the same pungent stench like chloramines but this also reduces the effectiveness.

Bromine kills the bacteria slower than chlorine but it has a lower pH as compared to chlorine, so it can keep your overall water chemistry more balanced.

Bromine is costlier than chlorine but it needs to be used less often so it evens out.

Exercise caution and do not mix the two chemicals, neither in dry state nor in water it could cause a dangerous reaction.
