How does Disney clean their water?

I spent time making sure to confirm this and I verified that bromine is used instead of chlorine to disinfect the water in all rides that use water such as it's a small world in Magic Kingdom Park and Frozen Ever After in EPCOT. Bromine is a good alternative for those with chlorine sensitivities.
