Calcium Hypochlorite vs Sodium Hypochlorite Shock

Comparison of calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite impact agent

Clean water quality in swimming pools. Both calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite impact agent are commonly used. The two have their own effects in swimming pool disinfection and sterilization, water quality improvement, and there are differences.

Calcium hypochlorite, the chlorine content is quite high, usually up to 65% - 73%. Its chemical properties are relatively stable, easy to store and transport. Put it into the swimming pool, release its chlorine slowly, disinfect bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms for a long time, and keep the swimming pool water clean. In the swimming pool where algae breed, it can effectively inhibit algae, raise the pH value of the swimming pool, and maintain the acid-base balance of the water.

However, calcium hypochlorite is also deficient. Because it dissolves slightly slowly, when adding it, it needs to be pre-dissolved and then evenly sprinkled, otherwise it is easy to cause the local chlorine concentration to be too high, damage the swimming pool equipment, and irritate the swimmers' skin and eyes. Furthermore, long-term use may cause the calcium hardness of the swimming pool water to rise. If it is not properly regulated, it is prone to scaling.

In contrast, sodium hypochlorite impact agent, the chlorine content is usually 10% - 15%. Its advantage is that it dissolves quickly, can quickly increase the chlorine content of the swimming pool, and effectively kill various pathogens. When the water quality suddenly deteriorates, it is particularly effective in emergency treatment, which can quickly curb the reproduction of microorganisms and restore the clarity of the water quality.

However, the stability of sodium hypochlorite is not good, and it should not be stored for a long time. It needs to be used And because of its alkalinity, large-scale use may cause the pH value of the swimming pool to rise significantly, which needs to be closely monitored and adjusted. In addition, it is corrosive to metals to a certain extent, and attention should be paid to the protection of swimming pool equipment when using it.

In summary, the swimming pool chooses calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite impact agent, depending on the specific conditions of the swimming pool. When the water quality is stable for daily maintenance, calcium hypochlorite can be used as a long-term choice; if there is a sudden problem with water quality, it is urgent to quickly increase the chlorine content, and sodium hypochlorite impact agent is more suitable. And the use of both requires strict operation in accordance with specifications, close monitoring of water quality parameters, to ensure the safety of swimming pool water quality, and to create a healthy and comfortable environment for swimmers.
