Welcome to our forum.
Thanks T&C.Yes, you're correct, it's lithium hypochlorite. I'm not sure what brand they sell, as I haven't bought any yet (i'm just reading off the maintenance sheet they gave us). So, I'm also not sure on the active ingredient percentage. We're supposed to add 2 Tbsp daily, and 3 tbsp as a shock if needed.The 2 other dealers we looked at also suggested it, and told us the smell was less than if we used bromine. The only difference was that they each sell a 2-step program, and our dealer's brand is a one-step program.We were told that we would be adding chlorine constantly, because it would burn off so quickly and becomes ineffective at higher temps. Is this not accurate?So much to learn...
I like using Lithium in tubs. It's not the most cost-efficient, but with our customers who try to nickel-and-dime their chlorine level using dichlor, it definitely helps. Dissolves quickly, doesn't cloud the water, doesn't mess with the alkalinity (with the exception of the increased pH Decreaser needed), and always leaves the water sparkling.
