An Alternative For Pool Water Quality Management-Calcium Hypochlorite
The pool and spa industry has spent decades perfecting the process of water chlorination using different forms of chlorine and a variety of delivery systems. Chlorine gas and liquid bleach had been the standard in commercial pool chlorination.
There are many chemical advantages to Calcium Hypochlorite. Calcium Hypochlorite contains approximately 65 percent chlorine as compared to the 12 percent that is typical in liquid bleach. Bleach breaks down over time, losing its strength and efficacy as well as adding to the total dissolved solids in the pool. Calcium Hypochlorite has a neutral pH that can reduce the need for auxiliary treatment chemicals. When mixed with water, Calcium Hypochlorite has a pH of 10.8, making it easier to maintain the optimum pool water pH of 7.2-7.6 when compared to pH extremes of other forms of chlorine.
Not only do they have a consistent delivery of chlorine but they also are seeing a reduction in down time for maintenance and repairs, and fewer injuries and accidents related to other chlorine delivery methods. And all of these are providing safe, clean, clear water for their customers to enjoy.
