Many people use them in small above ground pools on a
continuing basis.
I don't want to confuse you but this product now comes in
a Granular Form which is blended with other chemicals to
use as a super shock treatment, however be warned it
should only be used on the advice of a pool professional.
Liquid Chlorine
This product doesn't have any nicknames really, although
Liquid Chlorine in itself is actually a nickname.
Its chemical name is Sodium Hypochlorite with sodium
being salt.
It is therefore salt based and highly compatible as shock
treatment or super chlorination for Salt Water Pools.
It can be added
really to any pool. There is a warning
though.
If the pool is
an above ground pool the continued use of
liquid chlorine (being salt based) can be very destructive to
metal parts.
Some above ground pool manufacturers will not provide
warranty to an above ground pool if liquid chlorine is being
used. Check with the manufacturer.
In Australia this is an extremely popular chlorine. Why you
ask?
