What it is:
Sodium Bromide is a pool treating product (products such as Yellow Out, Yellow Treat, Mustard Free, Defense or Drive Out) originally marketed as a solution to green algae blooms. 

Sodium Bromide treatments should be done cautiously, and definitely NOT in biguanide (SoftSwim or Baquacil) treated swimming pools. 

Adding sodium bromide (as little as 0.5 ppm) to pools treated with chlorine can cause high chlorine demands and will cause the chlorine to become unstable, increasing chlorine consumption. 

Since sodium bromide cannot be removed from the water, you effectively transform the pool to a "bromine" treated pool.  Unfortunately, many consumers may not be aware of the increased chlorine demand and may not check chlorine levels as often as necessary. This could result in a drop in the chlorine level leading to subsequent Algae blooms.
