I have a general question about the difference between sodium hypochlorite vs calcium hypochlorite. Bleach is sodium hypochlorite and I was reading I can make my own bleach using a formula of 2 tablespoons of calcium hypochlorite (shock 70%) and 3 cups of water to make the concentrate. The add 8 drops of this concentrate to a gallon of water to create the standard 6% off the shelf bleach.
Putting the safety issue aside for the moment from the creation of toxic fumes. to make the concentrate.
Will this calcium hypochlorite bleach act the same as off the shelf bleach/liquid chlorine? Will this cause the ph to rise where the sodium will not?
