Buy a bottle of ORIGINAL REGULAR Clorox Bleach...Use two drops per litter...You will be fine...Cost far less and it kills everything. I still recommend filtering for sifting out large particles floating around in the water...Or wait a bit for the sediment to settle.

In my opinion is dependent on the volume of water. I attached another in-line filter for everything else except chlorine which reduced the volume and the vitamin C powder last much longer now

I've used tap water, when I had to, but the chlorine does burn my nose. I prefer filtered or distilled water.

The manufacturer calls it "OXYD-8" which is really just a cute trademark name ("oxidate", get it?) they made up for Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2), a gaseous solute in water. Chlorine Dioxide is a toxic chlorine compound used in industrial waste water treatment, among other things, and not FDA-approved or regulated for internal use. Since it is unregulated, the manufacturer does not include a label specifying the concentration of the compound they use. Personally I would recommend staying away from this stuff, as it raises a lot of red flags in the way they market it, all the snake oil tricks, etc. The manufacturer calls it "OXYD-8" which is really just a cute trademark name ("oxidate", get it?) they made up for Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2), a gaseous solute in water.

My husband prefers the liquid, says it works faster. But he keeps the tablets in the car for "emergencies." He says Gaviscon is the best product of its kind, bar none. It is also less expensive on Amazon than at the local Walmart, and it ships free on Prime.

It lowers the usage. I still shock pool oncr a week and use chlorine tablets as well.

Liquid oxygen improves oxygen level in the blood. I have heard of tablets used for emergency water purification but have no experience with their use.Marge

I suggest you paste the following "can ascorbic acid neutralize chlorine in bath water" into Google. You will find a whole bunch of responses which will allow you to make your decision.

Never store in hydrogen peroxide. Choose which ever is safest for you. MP solution or saline.

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.

with this type chlorinator it is designed for 3" tablets . You can also use 1" or sticks. Powder is not going to work.

It's fine for any consumer size pool, just read the proper rate (number of tablets) for your size pool on the chlorine tablets you buy. But only use the Slow Release tablets (typically 1 inch or 3 inch tablets, not powder or 3/4 tabs).

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)

There would be no problem with using this with chlorinated water. Many municipalities use chlorine dioxide to disinfect their water supplies so using this product would basically be belt-and-suspenders.

Powder is better at least for me. The tablets are pretty big and I had to chop them.

Effective shelf life of chlorine dioxide is about 4 years from manufacture date in the liquid form. After mixing the 2 parts and waiting the prescribed 20 minutes, the solution should have a yellowish tint, telling you that the oxygen has been released and ready for mixing with your untreated water. At only $15 to treat 30 gallons of water, it would be cheap insurance to replace it when in doubt of when you bought it.
