Available Chlorine Content:  90%

PH:  2.8

To Be:  Used in a floating dispenser or in the skimmer basket

Advantages:  Easily handled, slow disolving, good for chlorinators, chlorine residual stabilized

Disadvantages:  Reduces TA, lowers PH, stabilizer may exceed range of 30-50ppm

 

 

 

SODIUM DICHLORO-S-TRIAZINETRIONE (Granular)

 

Available Chlorine Content:  62%

PH:  6.7

To Be:  Dilluted and broadcast around pool

Advantages:  Easily handled, fast disolving, little effect on PH, chlorine residual stabilized

Disadvantages:  Most costly chlorine sanitizer, stabilizer may exceed range of 30-50ppm

 

 

 

 

 

 

CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE (Granular)

 

Available Chlorine Content:  65%

PH:  11

To Be:  Dilluted and broadcast around pool (should be pre-disolved before application)

Advantages:  Effective algae killer when used with a poly quat algaecide, economical, easily handled, no significant decomposition

Disadvantages:  Raises PH and TA, increases calcium hardness, on initial application it may cause cloudy water, chlorine residual of pool dissipates rapidly in sunlight, should not swim for 8 hours after application

 

 

 

SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE (Liquid bleach)

 

Available Chlorine Content:  10.3%

PH:  13

To Be:  Broadcast around pool or used with an injector pump

Advantages:  Completely miscible in water, as bulk liquid least expensive source of chlorine sanitizer

Disadvantages:  Bulky and heavy to handle, bleaches clothes, carpets, etc., raises PH, significant decomposition in storage, high TDS, chlorine residual of pool dissipates rapidly in sunlight

PH:  4

To Be:  Used in a floating dispenser or in the skimmer basket

Advantages:  Less odor than chlorine, will not cause eye or skin irritation to bathers, slow disolving for continual release of bromine, works at a wide PH range, does not have to be stabilized with cyanuric acid

Disadvantages:  Reduces PH and TA, expensive
