Hello. I just got a new case of liquid shock. I used most of a gallon before I noticed it had red flakes in it. Also it doesn’t really smell like chlorine. Does anybody know what this is? Is it “bad” shock?

Liquid chlorine does lose strength over time. What is the bottle dated?
I suspect the red flecks are iron.

Depending on how the liquid chlorine was stored, it is likely down to 6% strength or so.
