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."

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."
