Ca(ClO)2 Vs NaClO
Ca(ClO)2 Vs NaClO
(OP)
are there any operational differences in using calcium hypochlorite as opposed to sodium hypochlorite for water treament. is it possible that calcium ions from calcium hypochlorite could significantly contribute to water hardness and the associated problem of scaling?





RE: Ca(ClO)2 Vs NaClO
The cost of chlorine gas values from supplier to supplier, and from day to day, but its cost relative to sodium and calcium hypochlorite remains relatively constant. On the basis of a survey of national suppliers the cost-per-pound of available chlorine, supplied as a gas, as liquid sodium hypochlorite, and as granular and as tabular calcium hypochlorite was calculated as follows:
Gas: $0.41 per pound x 1.0 = $0.41
NaOCl: $0.98 per gallon x 1.2 = $1.18
Ca(OCl)2:
Granular: $0.98 per pound x 1.52 = $1.49
Tabular: $2.02 per pound x 1.42 = $2.86
