Is there a difference between liquid chlorine for the pool and chlorine tablets?

It's funny because I just came back from a seminar on safety compliance at a major manufacturer of these products and they did a complete section on sodium hypochlorite and another different on gas and liquid chlorine. They made sure we all understand that liquid chlorine and sodium hypochlorite are two completely different animals and they behave differently. However, for practical reasons many people in the pool and water treatment industry use the terms "sodium hypochlorite", "bleach", and "liquid chlorine" to refer to the same chemical, where bleach and sodium hypochlorite can be the came product but liquid chlorine is not. The main issue can arise when an accident occurs and people call emergency telling them that they had a spill of "liquid chlorine" when in fact it was "sodium hypochlorite", there is a considerable difference in the way both chemicals have to be controlled.


What is free chlorine in a pool?

Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.

How do you get high free chlorine to match total chlorine?

Total Chlorine = Free Chlorine + Combined Chlorineor, put another wayTotal Chlorine - Free Chlorine = Combined ChlorineFree Chlorine is the chlorine that is doing its job.Combined Chlorine is the chlorine that has combined with contaminants such as nitrogen. It is ineffective as a sanitizer and it is noxious.Total Chlorine is the total of these two levels.To eliminate the Combined Chlorine (making all the chlorine in the pool Free Chlorine) you must shock the pool to remove the contaminants. You must reach "Breakpoint Chlorination", which is the addition of chlorine to your pool equivalent to the Combined Chlorine level times 10.example:Total Chlorine = 1.5ppmFree Chlorine = 1.0ppmSo, the Combined Chlorine (the difference between the two tests) is .5ppmBreakpoint chlorination, in this example would be .5ppm X 10 = 5ppm. So, in this example, you would add enough chlorine to your pool to raise the chlorine level up by 5 parts per million.

Why was drilling in the gulf halted during the gulf oil spill?

Drilling in the gulf was halted to prevent more oil spills. It was believed that current security systems and/or regulations were not working, and that the temporary delay it would take to fix the system would give the system time to fix itself while it handled a major oil spill. Oil spill handling systems were already taxed due to having to handle the BP oil spill, and it was believed that the handling of another spill at the same time would be very poor and cause much damage.
