Thanks!
What does the no chlorine lock mean, is that ph buffered? I'm wanting to pick up a bag of shock to start mixing my own solution in 2024 and can't find the old stuff I used to get.
This was all I could find at ace. Online I search non ph buffered and couldn’t really find anything. I I have 2.84L milk jugs i use. Can’t find a gallon around any more. So I mixed up 21g/X=3.785L/2.84 X=15.76. I haven’t matheed in quite some time but that should be the amount per my jug. Ppm was high like 11k. Mix 1ml with a 2.84L jug and the ppm is pretty much unnoticeable. 10ml brings me a little over 200. Any clue what I’m doing wrong. From reading here I need to be at least 200ppm but not to push it over 300. I’m dealing with some root rot and need to stay a head of it. Was hoping this would clear it up. Going to grab some h2o2 now.
So, you're buying what I posted or something else? Trying to figure out what is suitable now since the package and perhaps formula changed since I bought it years ago at walmart.
I used to get one gallon distilled water at the store and just put in a gram, don't they sell 1 gallon water jugs?
I buy the plain stuff. Not sure about the PH balanced version, good luck.
That's the exact stuff I'm looking at, I'm curious and was trying to ask the ones that know more about this stuff what the red label on the bag means when it says. "No chlorine lock" Does that make it ph buffered? The stuff I bought back in the day was just in a blue bag and was just plain chlorine.
Chlorine lock refers to an overabundance of Cyanuric Acid in your pool. Cyanuric Acid preferentially binds with your Chlorine. You have to keep that in balance. Shock with no chlorine lock means it has no Cyanuric Acid and if you look at the active ingredients you see it's simply cal hypo. I hope that helps.
