ID that spa product!

[TheDeuce]

Hi everyone,

I have a cannister of "Aquarius Spa Shock Chlorine Free Shock Treatment for Spa Water". Can anyone tell me what this stuff actually is? As usual, the product description says all kinds of things about what it does ("Concentrated spa shock treatment sanitizes spa", "Oxidizes and cleans spa water") but doesn't tell me what is actually in the can.


Thoughts?

According to the Q&A on the website, it's 60-80% MPS. Too bad they uploaded thumbnails of the SDS rather than usable pictures.

Mystery solved! Mps - avoid….
In general avoid all products that don’t list ingredients

Non-Recommended Pool Chemicals

These pool chemicals should not be added to your pool. While stores may try to sell you these products we share why you should avoid each of them.

Recommended Pool Chemicals

There are thousands of different pool chemicals companies attempt to sell you. These pool chemicals are cheap, easy to find, and have little side effects.

www.google.com

The only dedicated spa products that are actually needed for a chlorine spa are 99% dichlor (just because it’s usually a smaller size - you can omit if you just wanna use cya & bleach separately) & Ahhsome spa purge.

I don't know if there's some weird law up here in Canada but the absence of ingredients on pool chemicals borders on the ubiquitous. When we first put in our pool the installer provided buckets of products with names like Balance Pak 100, Balance Pak 200, and so on. The packaging explained the effects of using the product in question ("For raising alkalinity") but nary a word on what the heck the product actually is. I had a bucket of "Dazzle Performance Plus" they left in the garage and I had no idea what it was - turns out it was some borate based product.

Always search for the msds! Sadly they don’t usually make it easy. I have a kid with allergies so I have been focusing on ingredients for a long time - its one of the things that made the tfp way so appealing & unconfusing compared to “standard” pool care. I don’t care what the front of the package says on a food, pool, or cleaning product - what do the ingredients say!

Mono potassium sulfate? That is a non chlorine shock used in spas
