Poolife® Active Cleaning Granules
Product Overview
Pool techs reach for Poolife Active Cleaning Granules when they need to boost chlorine levels without increasing cyanuric acid.
This 68% calcium hypochlorite formula serves as a 2 in 1 treatment, acting as both a daily sanitizer and a potent shock. Available in 25 lbs, 50 lbs, and 100 lbs containers, it reliably handles organic contaminants and algae without the risk of 'chlorine lock' associated with stabilized products. In our experience, it is the standard specification for maintaining a consistent 1-4 ppm chlorine residual in high-use residential pools.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
68% Calcium Hypochlorite Concentration
Delivers a high concentration of available chlorine to effectively destroy bacteria and eliminate organic contaminants quickly.
Zero Cyanuric Acid Addition
Unlike dichlor or trichlor, this Cal Hypo formula sanitizes without adding cyanuric acid, preventing stabilizer buildup that can render chlorine ineffective.
Versatile 2 in 1 Treatment
Functions as both a routine sanitizer and a superchlorination shock, providing 5-10 ppm of available chlorine when dosed at 10-20 ounces per 10,000 gallons.
Product Details
Calcium Hypochlorite 68%
10-20 oz per 10,000 gallons for shock; 3-4 oz per 10,000 gallons for daily maintenance in stabilized pools.
Compatibility
- Do not mix with other chemicals
- Add directly to pool water
- Avoid contact with acids or organic matter
When To Use This
Pro Tip
In areas with naturally hard water, monitor your calcium hardness levels monthly, as Calcium Hypochlorite will gradually increase calcium levels over time, potentially leading to scale if not managed.
Common Questions & Instructions
How much Poolife Active Cleaning Granules should I add to shock my pool?
For superchlorination, add 10-20 ounces of this product per 10,000 gallons of pool water every 7 days or as needed to reach 5-10 ppm of available chlorine. Always brush any granules that settle on the floor to prevent liner bleaching.
Can I use this product if my pool already has high stabilizer levels?
Yes, because this product contains no cyanuric acid, it is the preferred choice for pools with high stabilizer levels where adding more CYA would lead to chlorine lock and poor water quality.
When is it safe to swim after adding these granules?
You must stay out of the pool until the free available chlorine level reaches the recommended 1-4 ppm range. Testing the water before re-entry ensures the sanitizer has dissipated to safe levels for swimmers.
