    Bromine has a higher boiling point than chlorine, which allows it to stay in the hot water longer. You can use chlorine in a hot tub, but you have to add it more frequently to achieve the proper level of sanitization.

      Maybe, but I’ve never had an issue with satiation using chlorine.

        And you won’t, if you add it more frequently.

        It’s a matter of long-term economic effect. Both work, but one is cheaper in the long-term because bromide sanitizers for longer at higher temperatures, such as those which exist in hot tubs. That’s the point they were making.

        Chlorine also works fine, but because of the higher temperatures, you have to use more, which cost more.
