Bromine can also be used to sanitize your pool. It is preferred by the people who hate chlorine smell and those who have very sensitive skin. But bromine is costlier than chlorine.
Oxidization of Swimming PoolOxidization is another method of maintaining the pool. It is used to clean waste from the pool such as skin cells, cosmetics and old chlorine.

It pulls out waste from water and maintains purity of water. Swimming pool skimmer should be well maintained to work properly. Skimmer basket should be free of garbage and leaves.
