Review 1 for America's Strongest Pool Bromine
Overall Rating:
Worth the cost!,

Pros: Uses less chemical than chlorine - less maintenance
Cons: requires feeder - local pool stores will think you're nuts for using bromine
"I switched over from chlorine to the recommended auto feeder and the small pail of bromine. I have a 24' round above ground. I've used less product this year than in years past. I only had to top off the feeder every two - three weeks! Everything in the other reviews is right on. Less irritating to eyes of children and less maintenance gets an A++ from this pool owner. Two cons... if you have a local pool store periodically run a test on your water, they will give you the "deer in the headlights" look when you tell them you're using bromine... says a lot about the "expertise" available... lol
Also, the bags do fall apart easily... sometimes I was lucky to get them to the feeder before they came open. Smell can be somewhat more overpowering than chlorine when refilling the feeder so if you're sensitive to smells, this may be a concern (my wife is and cant handle it, so I fill the feeder). But the end result is great - I'll never go back to chlorine."

Best Chemical for your pool,
Date:August 3, 2009
By Stella

from Havertown, PA
Pros: Better for your skin, your eyes, and your hair
Cons: Rather expensive
"Bromine is actually much better for your pool than Chlorine. It is rather costly but In the Swim's cost for Bromine is the best price out of all the Pool supply shops around. I shopped around and found this to be very true. Not only is Bromine good for your skin its easy on the eyes versis the sting from Chlorine. Its also good on your hair, it doesn't dry your hair out or cause your dye job to turn green. I highly recommend the chemical if you can afford it."

Affordable and Good Quality,

By Oley
from Jersey Shore, NJ
from Jersey Shore, NJ
Pros: Keeps pool clean and smelling fresh
Cons: Plastic Bags are brittle, some of the tablets were crushed
"The Bromine tablets are of high quality. Pail is good quality, but the bags inside are brittle and difficult to deal with. But, overall, we are delighted. We find that this is an affordable and convenient means to keep ourselves in stock of pool supplies. The pool and spa stores sell very small sized quanities at high prices. We are very happy with the service."

"My husband really likes the packaging and the 50 pound pail. The packets are easy to open and you just dump them in to the dispenser. Another big advantage is the one day shipping for us. This is our second year with In The Swim and we are very happy with the service."

Pros: Cost, Service, Quality of product. NEVER A PROBLEM
"We have been using this product since we switched to Bromine 10 years ago so the kids eyes do not get irratated. We have a 40k gallon pool and we can go a season on one order. Even our pool local guy says we are getting a good product at a better price. Customer service is top notch on all products."

Pros: Keeps our pool crystal clear
Cons: Plastic bags that hold the bromine rip very easily.
"The product is great. However - the plastic bag issue should be addressed. Just lifting the bags out of the 25 pound container - leaves a mess. We have been a long time customer and the issue with the plastic bags has only happened this year. Other than that - we are extremely pleased with the product."

Pros: Long lasting and effective

Pros: Non-Harsh on body
Cons: Bags of tabs inside bucket tear to easily,so tight together
"This stuff makes your skin so soft,unlike chlorine,also does not burn eyes or irritate skin. My water stays crystal clear. My grandson who is 5 yrs.old his skin all winter is so rough and dry.and he cannot stand lotions or anything greasy on him, it is a constant battle. We have not put anything on him since he has been getting in the pool,and his skin is so soft. I love it.THANKS."
