Reply to: Some basic questions on water storage Posted November 13, 2022

I have seen forum members suggest calcium hypochlorite powder (“pool shock”) in stored drinking water. Would it work to use sodium hypochlorite powder instead? Would there be an advantage to one of these powders over the other? Sodium hypochlorite is the active ingredient in Clorox, and is available online in several different size containers.

No activity yet.

What about using sodium hypochlorite powder? I see it is available in various quantities on the web.
