g8vkv Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Any idea where to get this?I'm taken by the idea of using Javel as the disinfectant and had a quick look in the (admittedly small) supermarket yesterday, but most of the stuff in there was attractively perfumed with lemon etc. and the only 'unadulterated' variety was 2.6%On my (crude) reckoning, this would mean a 2L bottle a day - not particularly expensive, but all those empty Javel bottles!

Poolguy Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Forget the Supermarkets, they don't have what you want.If you go into any Brico then they can sell you a 20lt drum of 9.6% Eau de Javel (Sodium hypochloride)The only trick is to make sure of the age of the product as any drum over 3months old will be next to useless for pool sanitising - it whill have lost most of its strength and be reverting back to a salt solution.Also some producers have a 'purer' product than others.

Rayring Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 My local Champion supermarket sells 20 litre drums of 9.6% Javel for about 12 euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
