Bromine is a good disinfectant but can be very difficult to handle. Its use attached to resins for point of use devices is well established and effective if the instructions are followed. Combined with a filtration system and with an appropriate CT it certainly works, although some of the same constraints as chlorine apply. However, much much less is known about the disinfection by-products associated with its use as a disinfectant. WHO has recently reviewed bromine and when the second addendum to the fourth edition is published at the end of the year it will be covered.
