Welcome to TFP!
Yes, it applies, but bromine is usually not as suitable for pools since it cannot be protected from breakdown from sunlight as readily and is usually a lot more expensive. There have been a few reports from people using bromine who didn't find the daily loss to be too bad, but others have noted the much higher cost. The disinfection by-products from bromine can be worse than those from chlorine. So overall, chlorine is what is recommended for pools while for spas with the much lower water volume either is recommended.
Do note that once you turn your pool into a bromine pool, you cannot go back to chlorine without a nearly complete water change.
Was there any particular reason why you were interested in bromine rather than chlorine?
