Why does Disney put bromine in water?


Why does Disney put bromine in 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.


Does Disney use chlorine or bromine?

Currently most of the Disney Resort hotel pools and water parks use bromine rather than chlorine to keep the water clean.


Why is bromine water toxic?

Bromine works by directly irritating the skin, mucous membranes, and tissues. The seriousness of poisoning caused by bromine depends on the amount, route, and length of time of exposure, as well as the age and preexisting medical condition of the person exposed.


What does bromine water taste like?

At normal levels, Bromide or bromate in drinking water does not impart a taste, color, or other aesthetically-detectable quality to the water, but the presence of bromine (the element) does impart a medicine-like taste to the water.


What do they put in Disney water?

Instead of chlorine, Disney uses a chemical called bromine in the water, and that scent permeates the air in and around the ride.


Why does Disney use bromine?

Regular pools usually disinfect the water inside of them using chlorine–but not Disney. They use bromine, which is a fancy, more expensive, and much milder smelling chemical (and is not as harsh as chlorine when it hits your skin or clothing).


Why does Disney smell so good?

The Smellitizers combine a strong-smelling substance (that smells like popcorn or something else!) with a powerful source of air. And the air has to be moving in a pressurized way like a powerful fan. This propels the scent toward guests while an exhaust sucks it back in.
