Heat and Granular Chlorine or Tabs

[Stinson]

Does heat have the same effect on Granular Chlorine or Tabs as it does on liquid chlorine? Thanks.

No.

Solid forms of chlorine are pretty stable and will typically last for years without losing strength as long as they are kept dry. My horde of pucks is about 6 years old and still introduce the same amount of chlorine and CYA as new trichlor would.

Thanks for both of these replies. Do you know to read the date on liquid chlorine from a Home Depot or Loews? No Has dealers appear to be close enough to make it convenient.

Thanks I saw that previously and I didn't ask my question correctly above. Where is that date shown - large numbers on the box etc. Only on the plastic jug? So if I found something 21 207 it would be 30 days old today. Thanks.

Yup. I have this older 21 027 box I bought in March.
