Pool bromine: effective disinfection with less odor

Pool bromine is an excellent alternative to traditional chlorine for keeping pool water clean, crystal clear, and free from microorganisms. It is especially valued for its strong disinfecting power in warm water and for producing fewer odors and irritations.

At Mercapool, you will find bromine tablets, granules, and treatments suitable for swimming pools and spas of all types.

What is pool bromine?

Bromine is a chemical disinfectant used to eliminate bacteria, algae, and microorganisms present in pool water. Its operation is similar to chlorine, but it offers several advantages in specific applications.
