  • Page 47 Starting & Maintaining Sanitizer Levels After you choose a sanitizer, you will need to establish a baseline and maintain it regularly. Sanitizing your spa with chlorine or bromine is very similar. Each sanitizer has its advantages and disad- vantages. Sanitizer helps neutralize bacteria that can cause illness and other organic matter. Bromine: Creates less odor and skin irritation than chlorine, bromine is less likely to do so.
