Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between Sodium Di-Chlor and Trichlor?
A: Sodium Di-Chlor dissolves faster and is pH-neutral, making it ideal for spas and regular pool dosing. Trichlor is slower-dissolving and better suited to tablet feeders for ongoing pool maintenance. Many pool owners use both together for best results.
Q: Can I use this in a saltwater pool?
A: Yes - Crystalline Chlorine can be used to shock a saltwater pool when the salt cell isn't keeping up, such as after heavy rain or high bather load.
Q: How often should I shock my pool?
A: Shock weekly during summer or after heavy use, rain, or if water looks cloudy. For spas, dose after every use or at least weekly.
Q: How long after dosing can I swim?
A: Wait until chlorine levels drop to 1-3 ppm, typically 4-8 hours. Always test before swimming.
Q: How long will a 10kg pail last?
A: For a 50,000L pool shocked weekly at 500g per 20,000L (1.25kg per shock), a 10kg pail lasts approximately 8 shock treatments. For spa maintenance at 1 tablespoon per week, a 10kg pail will last well over a year.
