Unlike chlorine granules and chlorine tablets, bromine is not very odorous: So for some, this is a preferable sanitiser. However, as with any chemical sanitation system, bromine has its disadvantages. In small quantities dissolved into the hot tub water, bromine is not too harmful, but it is naturally irritant to the human eyes and throat, so it’s best to avoid these areas and make sure you don’t swallow any hot tub water! 

If you go for a swim or a dip on your spa and experience any negative side effects on your health as a result of using bromine in your hot tub, wash the affected area with fresh water immediately, and seek medical advice.
