What sets our calcium hypochlorite tablets apart from liquid bleach, trichlor, bromine and the like? Lots of things…
Unlike trichlor tablets, VersaChlor tablets contain no cyanuric acid. Users are free to add as much or as little stabilizer as they may need. That means with VersaChlor tablets there is no CYA buildup to slow the action of chlorine in cleaning and disinfecting the water. Also, VersaChlor tablets release chlorine at a predictable rate. Together, these tablet features make it easy to sustain proper chlorination and help prevent illness-causing bacteria from forming in pools and spas.
In water, bromine tablets form hypobromous acid as a primary disinfectant. However, hypobromous acid cannot be stabilized. As a result, its use in outdoor pools will lead to rapid degradation from the sun’s u.v. rays.
VersaChlor tablets are five times more concentrated than liquid bleach. The tablets come packaged in a 37.5-lb. plastic pail, allowing for an easy to store and handle container compared to heavy, bulky bleach drums. The tablets are easy on pool equipment and surfaces, too. A scale inhibiting formula allows for clean chlorinator operation.
VersaChlor tablets are specially engineered using a proprietary process and are put through extensive quality control so they won’t soften and clog the system like other brands of tablets.
Independent testing by NSF International has proven their efficacy in VersaChlor easy feed chlorination systems in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 50. They’re also Standard 60 listed for areas requiring this listing.
