anyone try dry chlorine from pool supply?

[jeffex11 121]

I am wondering if anyone has tried the dried chlorine available at pool supply houses. I would like a more portable and convenient source for my house wash . I mix HD80 with water for decks and that is a portable source . When they add on more work it is easy to just mix more dry than tote liquid. I would like to carry dry chlorine to mix with water for those customers that add on service when you get there . " My house looks great. How much to do the sidewalk and driveways" If so what was the chem name and your results?

I have.

It doesn't work- wrong kind of chlorine and you can't mix it strong enough to be effective.

Do a search for 'dry chlorine' or 'powder chlorine'.

calcium hypochlorite vs sodium hypochlorite (liquid SH) . Most tablets are calcium hypochlorite. I guess I just have to try it and see for myslef if I can get good results.

Dont do it. First roof I ever got On i mixed calcium Hypo. I mixed it pretty strong too. it didnt do squat. nothing, nada. After spraying 3 times with it and it making little difference a friend came with a tank of Sodium Hypo and saved the day.

Youll waste your money and time.
