Does this work with, or instead of the chlorine tablets in an aerobic system?

Green Pig helps maintain the bacterial health of your septic system so that it can digest the solids in the waste stream. The chlorine tablets still need to be added to sanitize the treated water from your aerobic system.

One month I use green pig to break down the solid waste, and the next month I use a chlorine tablet. Doing this for 8 years and no problems.

You might not want to use chlorine water. I do not know whether there'd be any reaction, but this has chlorine dioxide which is safer than chlorine. Chlorine typically contains bleach and iodine which are not just harmful for daily consumption but also taste weird. Aquamira is chlorine dioxide, kills all bacteria including most waterborne pathogens. And yes, definitely better than Chlorine so that you don't need chlorinated water.

We use it so we don't have to use as much chlorine. There are times where we do add a little chlorine, but the spa is not maintained on chlorine all the time. Hope this helps.

I agree with Patricia, for two years we used only 1" tablets, this year we switched to a floater with 3" tablets and are able to keep the chlorine levels stable.

Yes you still have to balance the water chemistry.. this device only adds to low level chlorine sanitizing with another additional microorganism eliminator/reducer.

You do not use chlorine, just the RENU2 and the bromine. It will help keep the chemicals at a normal level, providing you test the water and watch how much you add.

My understanding of this spray is that it neutralizes the chemicals that make up the chlorine. I've only used it for pool water. If I were you, I'd buy a chemical neutralizing body wash to use when you shower. These body washes are sold on sites that sell this spray and at any store that specializes in swimming activities. They would also sell chemical neutralizing shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. Good luck!

I used one in my 10x30 pool last year and it worked pretty well. I wouldn't recommend using it without one of those chlorine floaters, though. The tablet takes a few days to dissolve and is concentrated enough that you probably don't want the bare tablet touching the liner of your pool or the swimmers.

Jonathan - Baking soda - which is what these tablets are - will affect alkalinity but not pH directly though they are related which I will try to articulate. Once I have the pool at the right chlorine and alkalinity levels I use these tablets for maintenance along with chlorine tablets. pH is the measurement of acidity vs alkalinity. Work on chlorine and alkalinity levels and then check the pH. From my experience the balance of the two keeps the pH at a proper level. But every pool is different. Pool chemistry is so frustrating !!!!

Yes. The company calls it "activated oxygen," but that's just another term for ozone (aka O3 or trioxygen). Ozone generators are also used in hot tubs and swimming pools as a way to keep the water clean while reducing the amount of chlorine or bromine needed for sanitation.

No. Only a reverse osmosis system will remove minerals from your water. I use the Whirlpool WHER25 for exactly the purpose you described and it works just fine. In fact the WHER25 would work perfectly for a cpap system as well.

Apparently so. I have tested swimming pool water with it with some good results. It gave me a reading of 7 pH which is as it should be when adding chlorine.

Yes, I have a very large above ground pool, 18 x 39, and I use the Doheny shock and chlorine tablets. You just slowly pour the shock into the skimmer basket and drop the chlorine tablets into the skimmer basket as well.

I really don't think it does. If you read the description, it says: *Removes Chlorine, Chloramines, VOCs, and Pesticides/Herbicides. My concern was the chlorine since I use it on my compost - chlorine kills the good bacteris. That said, all the other stuff in city water will probably kill me sooner or later! I hope this was at least somewhat helpful. Also, I mentioned in an earlier post, look at both ends before putting it on the hose, the one that does not have the screen should be tipped up when you remove it from the hose after use because the carbon will run out.

I don't know what is in NeverScrub but the Kaboom product seems to contain bromine as is used in indoor hot tubs. I refill with the much less expensive bromine tablets from the pool supply store. Chlorine is undesirable in closed spaces but bromine is supposed to be OK. Any bleaching cleaner can interfere with the action of a septic tank but the amount supplied by this product is probably no enough to make a noticeable difference in the septic tank.

I have used it in both a regularly chlorinated pool and a saline pool. Saline or salt water pools generate chlorine.

I'm using a floater in mine with the 1" tablets. It only takes 1 or 2 tablets at a time to keep the chlorine up and I've had to remove the floater a couple of times because it got too high. I will say, it has been a great pool so far.
