The easy way to run a bromine pool, is simply to pretend it's chlorine. Because of the relationship between chlorine and bromine, if you use your chlorine test to maintain adequate 'chlorine' levels, your actual bromine levels will be OK.

But, if it's an outdoor pool, and you've had sun on the pool, the bromine is probably gone, and the pool is stabilized. Check the stabilizer level. Without stabilizer, or with stabilizer AND bromine, you'd probably have lost that chlorine / bromine already.
