Correct. Pucks have CYA added (and sometimes other things) and liquid is just straight chlorine with nothing else.
Get bleach injection, only lug jugs a few times a year
I buy 5 or six at a time and keep it close to full. Some let it get empty then fill it up.Ok I guess practically speaking, do people buy a ton of little 1 gal bleach jugs to fill it up?
Without a little research I would say no. Even different forms of chlorine (Trichlor and Dichlor) should never be used from the same feeder or yes, a chemical explosion can occur.The origin on my confused understanding of chlorine bromine compatibility came from the day I decided to switch the feeder from bromine to chlorine.
The local pool shop said I had to rinse the feeder thoroughly of chlorine because a chemical explosion could occur.
Now I’m thinking that entire concept of incompatibility was utter nonsense. I could just take the remaining bromine out of the feeder and drop some chlorine pucks in with no issue, right?
The warnings deal with a confined space. You saidI have been getting advice here on switching to chlorine liquid or pucks without these warnings so I’m not sure the situation you described applies to these chemicals.
I have chlorine pucks (trichloro-s-triazinetrione) and bromine pucks (dimethylhydantoin) that appear to be fairly compatible. This is not shock.
