Difference of Calcium Hypochlorite & Sodium Dichlorite Triazinertrione?
by Yvonne
What is sodium dichlorite triazinertrione? Can both be used in an inground pool? Thanks for your questions Yvonne Calcium hypochlorite (cal hypo) is the granular form of chlorine and has about 65 - 68% active chlorine. The rest is calcium which is used as a binder and it usually comes in a bucket. Calcium Hypochlorite..Swimming Pool Chemistry..Care..Chlorine..Maintenance I prefer cal hypo. because it's a bit safer, lighter, and easier to store than regular liquid chlorine. A drawback is that places that may have higher calcium or hard fill water shouldn't use cal hypo. because it introduces more calcium into the pool. For sodium dichlorite triazinertrione, I think you might be referring to sodium dichloroisocyanurate. Chlorine Tablets..Pool..Swimming Pool Chemistry..Care..Maintenance This is a granular, stabilized, and fast dissolving form of pool chlorine and is often used as a pool shock. While Dichlor does add pool chlorine it will also increase your cyanuric acid (CYA) level while lowering your pool water pH level. Take care in using Dichlor as your CYA can get out of hand very quickly. Adjust Your Swimming Pool Chlorine..Swimming Pool Chemistry..Swimming Pool Care. Both are safe to use in inground and above ground swimming pools. Remember to read the safety labels and take the proper precautions when dealing with any pool chemicals. The above links will show how much chlorine and CYA to add to your pool to bring them to their proper levels. Hope this answers your questions and good luck with your pool All the best Robert |
