Under strength chlorine

[stev32k]

Guess I was wrong. The latest water quality report does show some metals - Cu .22-.37ppm; Pb 0-14.7 ppb; Al .12-.22 ppm. They don't show an analysis for iron, but I would guess there is some present. Are those levels high enough to cause degradation?

Yes, those copper levels are a problem. As noted in this link regarding high-quality chlorinating liquid:

In most cases, Iron, nickel, copper, and other heavy metal ions that catalyze bleach decomposition are below detectable levels.

OK, thanks chem geek. I really appreciate all the time you have taken to respond to my questions.
