So I can’t find the exact one that OP posted but it says this one is the newer version, will either of these work? I have access to these two or the 4-in-1 or 7-in1 versions from HTH. I was thinking 1g for a quart of water then using 1-1.5ml of that per gal or is my math off. HTH says 52% hypo and the DryTec says 68% hypo and 65% min. Available chlorine

Okay went to the city about an hour away and got this for $6. Mixed up 1g with 1 quart of water and will use 1ml per gallon. I also got the standard version which is 47.6% cal hypo and 45% min available chlorine

The recipe some people here are using is incredibly weak (1 gram pool shock per gallon for the stock, then one ounce of that for every 5 gallons). That only comes out to 0.27 ppm, how does that even do anything? Town/city tap water is 1-2ppm.

I use ascorbic acid to clear the solution of chlorine when I run beneficials, not sure how it affects PH will have to test it.

I too can only find the HTH granule version of Pool shock in my area. 65-70% versions. Wondering if this works the same? Has anyone used this particular one? or are they using 45% powder versions?

What's the difference (in terms of effect) between calcium hypochlorite (pool shock) and sodium hypochlorite (bleach, clorox)

thank you for clearing that up...Thank you kindly.....I am also assuming being HTH shock its at 45%calcium hyd...so in the case people can get 70% calcium hyd you would probably want to use half the dose to make the solution.

This is what everyone uses in replace of GH flora kleen, DM zone, H202, EZY CLONE, and REZ CLEAN.

This mix is safe to use for the cloning also?

You found no need to add anything like H&G Drip Clean? Pipe lines and all run nice and clean?
I'm in the same boat as you atm. Im wanting to go sterile but not sure how to go about it. Hy-clor super shock is all we have here too. Have you used it? If so did it work and what were your measurement. Thanks

If you're unable to figure it out you can always use 35% H202 @ 3ML/gallon. Or Southern AG's Biological Friendly Fungicide @ 1ML/10gallons. Same stuff as Hydroguard, but more concentrated. Best of luck!

Would anyone here know the measurements to make a solution with a similar pool shock product that has 70% calcium hypochlorite?

We don't have southern ag here either..

Is the 3ml/gallon just to make up the solution? Or do you add the concentrate with nutrients?
I add it with the water as the 30 gallon reservoir is filling with water from the RO unit. I water every 2 days and I don't add my fertilizer until right before I water. The BFF is highly concentrated. Sorry I'm no help on the pool shock. Checkout icmag. I think I remember reading an article over there about pool shock for sterile reservoirs. I actually bought a bag of it. Never used it though. Wound up going with 35% H202 then BFF because it's even cheaper. If you can get the pool shock recipe worked out that would certainly be the cheapest.

I agree, I am not a hug fan of Organics, but I am much less of a fan of Pool Chemicals.
Sounds sketch, would pool chemicals pass testing?

I run bennies and H202 until i got the slime of death and quit with the h202

I think you need better understanding about chemistry. Calcium is essential, chlorine is tertiary nutrient for plants. Both are very common in nature.
I'm sure i do

More concerned with the quality of the product sourced.

Also, what is 25-30% of "other ingredients"?

Probably calcium chloride, calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide left from manufacturing. Mine is about 60-70% pure. Best of luck!
