Welcome to our forum.
Thanks T&C.Yes, you're correct, it's lithium hypochlorite. Â 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). Â So, I'm also not sure on the active ingredient percentage. Â 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. Â 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. Â Is this not accurate?So much to learn...
I like using Lithium in tubs. Â 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. Â 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.
