I've been using Bromine for the past 3 years 18 foot above ground pool, and would like to use chlorine because cost of bromine is ridiculous any help would be great, I've heard its not easily done

Not so sure I always trust Google........ :-D
The bromine itself isn't so much of a problem since there isn't very much so RO removing even 90% would be pretty good. The bigger problem is how much bromide there is in the pool (which is probably what you meant), which could be substantial, so that's where even 99% might not be enough -- if the bromide level were 300 ppm, for example, 99% would still leave 3 ppm bromide which would convert to 3 ppm bromine whenever chlorine was added. Even water replacement will have a tough time with removal unless the replacement is fairly complete (i.e. dilution has the same problem as RO). As Ben used to say, Once a Bromine Pool...Always a Bromine Pool!.JasonLion said:Yes, RO will remove bromine. The main problem with that approach is that you need to get at least 99% of the bromine out, preferably more. RO is not going to be the best choice when you are going for really high removal percentages, especially with an above ground pool where draining the pool is a possibility.
