The susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to bromination at 38°C in a controlled aquatic environment which simulated a whirlpool spa was evaluated with a laboratory and a naturally‐occurring strain from a whirlpool spa. The laboratory strain of Ps. aeruginosa was more susceptible to disinfection with bromine than was the naturally‐occurring strain.
