Calcium Hypochlorite

 Calcium hypochlorite is a halogen.

 Relatively inexpensive, broad spectrum of activity, works by oxidation, denaturing proteins.

 Works in either cold or hot water.

 Loses only 5% of its potency in 18 months.

 75 ppm use solution as opposed to 1600 ppm required with bleach use. Each 200,000 ppm caplet lasts about 3 ½ hours. ( 1 tablet per 875 gallons of water, at a flow rate of about 250 gallons per hour )  No mixing required, no residues, no rinsing, biodegradable, no scalding, no bleach staining, environmentally friendly.

 Will not harm septic systems.

 Contains no lye as in bleach, therefore it is not nearly as corrosive as bleach.  Because it has a pH below 8.5, more HOCL (hypochlorous acid) is available than found in bleach, making it 120 times more effective than bleach.

 Inactivated by organic matter, therefore pre-cleaning is necessary.

 There is no sustained release of active.

 Should never mix with ammonia.

 The amount of chlorine dispensed is influenced by the rate of flow (water pressure). Never exceed 70 psi.

 Rapidly loses effectiveness at high pH

 A movement is gaining momentum where States and Municipalities are moving away from (discouraging) chlorine use due to the formation of carcinogenic trihalomines and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).

 No actual parvo virus label claim.
