Storing bromine

[snuggler]

I have an inground pool and a separate above ground (but nested in a deck) spa. I use bromine to sanitize the spa, but chlorine for the pool.

I have read about how to store certain pool chemicals separately, but can't find anything online about storing bromine. I will of course read the back of the containers as well, but from your knowledge, do I need to take special precautions for storing bromine, in the same way I need to take special precautions to keep chlorine away from anything else, trichlor away from anything else, and muriatic acid outside and away from anything else?

I cant tell you I've ever read problems with bromine storage? What I am uncomfortable with on my hot tub was the kids going back and forth from pool to hot tub. I didn't want my pool to be exposed to bromine as it traveled on wet suits/kids. Once bromine got high enough in the pool water the pool would then be a bromine pool. Eeeeck! No Bueno!!

So do be careful, is all I'm trying to say. Keep those waters separate.
Consider using chlorine in the spa too instead of bromine.

The two products we never want near each other are chlorine and muriatic acid. Great potential for problems!
