➡ Why use unstabilized chlorine?
Unstabilized chlorine, such as Chloryte®, offers several key advantages for treating your pool water.
Effectiveness Against Algae Proliferation: Beyond its ability to quickly clarify water, this type of chlorine is particularly effective in treating algae invasions and restoring clear and limpid water.
Absence of Stabilizer: Unlike stabilized chlorine, unstabilized chlorine does not contain a stabilizer, thus avoiding the risk of over-stabilization for pools treated with chlorine tablets.
Beneficial Calcium Contribution: Chloryte® also increases the calcium hardness of the water, which is beneficial for pools with soft water.
Rapid Action: Thanks to its very rapid dissolution, unstabilized chlorine acts quickly and allows for a very powerful immediate shock treatment.
In summary, unstabilized chlorine provides an immediate, effective shock treatment without the risk of over-stabilization.
➡ What is the difference between stabilized and unstabilized chlorine?
Stabilized chlorine, such as Chlorilong®, contains cyanuric acid, which protects it from UV rays and extends its effectiveness. This type of chlorine has a longer duration of action, making it suitable for regular pool treatment.
Unstabilized chlorine, like Chloryte®, does not contain a stabilizer. Thus, it offers a rapid but short-lived disinfectant action. Its main advantage is that it does not cause over-stabilization of the pool water. It is primarily used in case of water problems, high heat, or high pool usage.
Stabilized Chlorine:
- Protected from UV rays
- Longer duration of action
- Risk of stabilizer saturation (in cases of low fresh water intake).
Unstabilized Chlorine:
- Without stabilizer, no protection against UV rays
- Rapid and powerful disinfectant action but short-lived
- No risk of over-stabilization of the pool water
It is therefore crucial to choose the right type of chlorine based on your needs.
➡ Is multifunctional chlorine stabilized?
Multifunctional chlorine, as its name suggests, is designed to perform multiple actions in a single treatment. It usually consists of stabilized chlorine. This form of chlorine includes a stabilizer, in the form of cyanuric acid, which protects the chlorine from the sun's UV rays. Without the stabilizer, chlorine would degrade very quickly under the action of UV rays.
WARNING: Never mix Chloryte® with other chemical components, and do not add this product to the pool skimmer which may contain other chemicals or any other dosing system (chlorinator, floating dispenser, etc.).
➡ Unstabilized Liquid Chlorine
Unstabilized liquid chlorine, such as Chloriliquide, is another form of unstabilized chlorine, offering a rapid and effective action in treating your pool water. This type of chlorine is generally composed of sodium hypochlorite, which releases about 12% active chlorine. Its liquid form is mainly used with an automatic dosing system (Automatic Cl-pH, PoolRelax®, PoolManager®)
