How to Use Calcium Hypochlorite to Improve Pool Water Quality?
Calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)₂) is a widely used disinfectant for swimming pools due to its high available chlorine content (65-70%) and cost-effectiveness. However, improper dosing can lead to excessive residual chlorine, pH imbalance, or equipment damage.
Calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)₂) is a widely used disinfectant for swimming pools due to its high available chlorine content (65-70%) and cost-effectiveness. However, improper dosing can lead to excessive residual chlorine, pH imbalance, or equipment damage.
Scientific Dosing Calculation
1.Basic Formula:
Daily Dose (grams) = Pool Volume (tons) × Target Residual Chlorine (ppm) × 3
Assumptions: 65% available chlorine, accounting for environmental loss.
2.Adjustment Factors:
Peak Usage: Increase dose by 10-15% during weekends/holidays.
Water Temperature: 20% faster chlorine decay per 5°C rise.
Rainfall: Add 5-8% extra after heavy rain.
Step-by-Step Application
1.Pre-Dissolving:
Mix calcium hypochlorite with water (1:10 ratio) in a plastic container.
Stir until fully dissolved, then distribute evenly along pool edges.
2.Timing & Frequency:
Optimal Time: 1 hour after closing or 2 hours before opening.
Frequency: Daily base dose + real-time monitoring (e.g., digital chlorine testers).
3.pH Control:
Neutralize pH rise (0.7 per 10ppm chlorine) with HCl or sodium bisulfate.
Key Safety Rules:
PPE: Wear goggles and gloves during handling.
Storage: Keep in dry area away from acids.
Incompatibility: Never mix with TCCA (risk of explosion).
Calcium hypochlorite remains a top choice for pool sanitation when applied with precision. Integrated automated monitoring reduces human error and operational costs. Emerging smart dosing technologies will redefine industry standards for water quality control.
