My CH is 50, and I'd like to raise it to the recommended 100-400 level. Sent DH to store for calcium hypochlorite, as we also need to add chlorine and I thought, kill two birds with one stone. The product DH brought home is 50% calcium hypochlorite and 50% "other ingredients." The SDS says composition is:
>50% calcium hypochlorite
>20% sodium chloride
<5% calcium chlorate
<5% calcium chloride
<5% calcium carbonate
<5% calcium hydroxide
I know the sodium chloride is salt, which is totally unnecessary in my vinyl pool. My questions are:
1) Is it a bad idea to add those other calcium compounds? Will they float on the surface and bug me all season?
2) Any problem with adding the salt, in terms of messing up my balanced water?
3) Did he basically get ripped off by paying for "other ingredients" when I just wanted cal-hypo?
Thanks in advance for your opinions!
