Mountain View 14 Report post Posted April 19, 2006 I posted a question awhile ago but no response (it was in with another question). A warning on my box of TSP says not to mix it with bleach but I see other people here are doing just that. Safety issue? I would like to try it as long as I don't get a nasty reaction. Mmmmm, that didn't sound quite right did it? :lgbugeyes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JFife 14 Report post Posted April 19, 2006 ...do it all the time, works great. Kinda makes the mixture foam up when it hits the surface. Great for maintenance/light strip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountain View 14 Report post Posted April 19, 2006 I don't doubt you guys use is succesfully. Box says..........."do not mix with bleach, vinegar or other acids" This is DAP brand Tri-Sodium Phosphate purchased at Lowes. I'm so confused!!!:taz: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PressurePros 248 Report post Posted April 19, 2006 Lowes = Homeowners. Products sold there probably have an extra edge of liability precaution. Find the Chemical Reactivity Worksheet here http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/resource_catalog.php and download it. It will tell you byproducts produced by mixing specific chemicals.

David O'Connell Jr. 14 Report post Posted April 19, 2006 Lowes and Home Depot have a product called TSP. However one of them really isn't, it a TSP substitute. We prefer to get ours from a pool supply store. We have mixed the real TSP with chlorine. It really makes the mix HOT. so watch out and be prepared. Tarp and Water! ..........Also I have noticed that with our pump we tend to leak if the mix is too hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
