Shelf Life of Baquacil

[SteveK]

Hi,
I converted to BBB about 4 years ago. Last night, I found 2 1/2 cases (10 bottles) of Baquacil in the corner of my basement (covered by boxes of "stuff").

Is this stuff still good? I have no use for it, but don't want to sell it (even discounted) if it is worthless.

So, does anybody know the shelf-life of Baquacil?

TIA,
SteveK

If you're talking about sanitizer I think it should still be fine, but can't find any proof to back that up. The only thing I can imagine happening is that you would get some precipitate in the bottle over time which should dissolve if you invert it a few times (sanitizer only, the shock has a vented lid that will leak).

Hydrogen peroxide (shock) degrades over time, but I think that's mostly due to UV so if you're talking about shock it might still be useful since you had it covered in the basement.

Yes, it is the sanitizer.
