Well, if you read the labels, chlorox bleach is the same stuff as the liquid shock they sell in the pool store. It does not have stabilizer. If you remember your high school chemistry ,you can calculate the actual weight of pure chlorine in the various forms (powders and liquids) that the pool stores sell. Low and behold, the cheapest form of chlorine is liquid shock. The liquid shock sold in the pool store is a bit cheaper than buying chlorox bleach at the supermarket. One thing to remember is that liquid bleach adds unstabolzed chlorine so you need some cyanuric acid "chlorine stabilizer, or pool conditioner" to protect the chlorine from being broken down by direct sunlight.

There are many different types of chlorine. They all do the same job but at different rates. There are benefits and cons to each. Using household liquid chlorine is not strong enough to sanitize your pool. This Power Ionizer takes the need to use chlorine away! When using a Power Ionizer you only need to shock once a week with a Di-Chlor or non-chlorine shock.

The tops are not solid, they are two pieces with plastic tack welds...very easy to remove. What type of chlorine tablets will you use?

None that I am aware of. Used in a cool mist vaporizer or added by drops to drinking water...no more hazardous that chlorine added to public drinking water.

I have used both and I much prefer the liquid!! That's why i order from amazon because it is very hard to get.

Manufacturer doesn't specify -- though both descriptions are, at times, used interchangeably (i.e., acetyl-L-carnitine vs. acetyl-L-carnitine HCl), the idea of creating a hydrochloride is to allow dissolution in water. Since this particular product "dissolves completely in liquid with minimal agitation" (see November 24, 2013 review), the distinction isn't as critical. What is important to how this supplement performs, as you've probably come to find, is the addition of its acetyl group (and not necessarily whether or not it is in the hydrochloric salt form).

I use warm salt water. I used to use uniodized table salt, then I switched to the packets that Dr. Gross an sells. Then I had surgery and I was prescribed pharmaceutical grade sodium chloride, premixed in bottles. My insurance covers it and it's easy to use so that's what I've stayed with since the surgery. If it weren't paid for or convenient I'd probable go back to the table salt. Hope that helps!

One is liquid and one is a powder. I prefer the liquid. It's absorbed better by the plants and mixes better with the water. Hope this helps :0)

Essentially this system creates free chlorine molecules so it is still chlorine, this difference is it's much easier to maintain because you only control the salt concentration. In addition, the chlorine content is similar to tap water so it's hard to tell if it is really chlorinated however, the water turns crystal clear and is much better to swim in compared to a conventionally chlorinated pool.

there are chlorine tablets you can use i forgot the name. but most of the time we would just drop a cup of bleach in and it would keep the water clear.

Check the chemical levels with a kit. I only shock after a heavy rain or when the chlorine level is low. The tablets constantly being in the water is usually enough with an occasional shocking.

I don't know. Maybe you can contact the manufacturer directly. If they are talking about the dissolved ion, chlorine could come from salt which is sodium chloride NaCl. This may be listed so as to prevent precipitates from forming which could cloud up your water. Hard water has calcium carbonate in it and free chlorine could form calcium chloride which will form a solid. Usually when I think of chlorine I think of pool chlorine, which is toxic to life. But that is a chlorate, ClO3, chlorine with oxygen.

I have the regular (for adults and children) Coldcalm tablets that melt under the tongue and I also have the children's Coldcalm pellets. You are right, the ingredients are exactly the same. I came to discover the same thing with Oscillococcinum - there is no difference between the regular version and the children's version. No more children's versions for me!

None. Save yourself money( a lot ) and find a generic one inch chlorinating tablets . I didn't feel that this system was worth the money. Adding fresh water more frequently is a very cheap way to keep water ph and balance correct.

You would have to ask the company. I use Rid-X because the people who pump our septic tank told us to. I do prefer the liquid over the powder but the powder is cheaper. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

The active ingredient list reads like this: Calcium Hypochlorite:............68% OTHER INGREDIENTS............32% TOTAL................................100% Minimum Available Chlorine....65% Hopes this helps!

gotta love how the one person said no but you should use chlorine granuals. um ya that's chemicals. I use this with the nature2 spa stick ( alternative to chlorine / bromine chemicals)
