Peroxymonosulfate and potassium monopersulfate.

[stiffy]

whats the diff, or isn't there?

whats the diff?

The name

[empolgation]

Potassium Peroxymonosulfate is synonymous with Potassium Monopersulfate (also known as Oxone)
Without the Potassium,  Peroxymonosulfate is quite a bit different though.

Potassium monopersulfate is used as an auxiliary oxidant (shocking agent) in swimming pools and spas for the purpose of reducing the organic content of the water. It is the active ingredient in most non-chlorine shock products designed for use in swimming pools, and it’s the active ingredient in essentially all non-chlorine shock products formulated for use in spas and hot tubs. Shock products containing potassium monopersulfate provides many benefits.
>> It will not produce chloramines or generate irritating chloramines odors
>> It can promotes maximum sanitizer efficiency by oxidizing and eliminating contaminant waste
>> It restores sparkle and clarity
>> It is gentle on pool surfaces—dissolves quickly and completely and will not bleach or fade vinyl liners or painted surfaces
>> It will not raise calcium hardness or increase cyanuric acid stabilizer levels
>> It is easy to use—simply broadcast uniformly over pool water surface, with filter running, to ensure complete mixing and circulation
Potassium monopersulfate fits easily into most water treatment programs for all types of pools and spas and provides sufficient oxidation to enhance sanitizer efficiencies and produce clear, sparkling water.
Potassium monopersulfate can be added to pool water day or night, and swimming can resume after a short waiting period to allow for adequate mixing and dispersion throughout the pool. No mixing is required—potassium monopersulfate is completely soluble in water and dissolves quickly. Broadcast monopersulfate shock slowly and uniformly over the surface of the water, adding about two-thirds of the total dose over the deep end. Shock with the filter running to ensure complete mixing and good circulation.

AAAHHH, now I understand. Thanks TToD1

...sounds a lot like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to me!!!

looks like you got the info you wanted...

the peroxymonosulfate anion (SO 5-) is the powerful oxidizer at work in your tub after it disassociates from the potassium in water. If the product is for pool/spa then the potassium is in there. Peroxymonosulfate with other cations is used for pulping woodchips/papermaking and chemical decontamination. sorry for any confusion
