To Convert Your Pool from Bromine to Chlorine:
If you are thinking about converting your pool from bromine to chlorine, the bad news is that you can't; at least not without draining the pool & starting again. 

Bromide salts stay in the water once they are introduced.

Period. 

Over a long period of time, months actually, you can begin to "water down" the bromide salts present in the water.  In the meantime, use Super Soluble as a granular daily chlorinator.  The only problem, per se, is that the Super Soluble will "re-charge" the bromide salts converting them back into usable bromine. Due to the chemistry, your pool will experience a continual chlorine demand (the pool water will not be able to maintain a steady level of chlorine).

Furthermore, if you are trying to "stabilize" the bromine, you can't do that either. Manufacturers have been trying to stabilize bromine for decades without success.  If you try, we can virtually guarantee that you'll create other problems you don't want. DO NOT ADD STABILIZER OR CYANURIC ACID TO A BROMINE TREATED POOL.

The bottom line is, if you want to convert your pool from Bromine to Chlorine, you can't, unless you drain the pool & start again fresh.  The old axiom stands, "once a bromine pool, always a bromine pool."

Keep in mind that using products that contain sodium bromide can & will cause the pool to be converted to a bromine pool.

To Make Your Bromine Experience Fantastic, add Optimizer Plus® to create a level of 30 ppm to 50 ppm.  Using Optimizer® Plus will significantly reduce your bromine consumption and provide a wonderful, soft feel that is usually not associated with bromine treated pools.
