Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium hypochlorite, often referred to as liquid chlorine, is a powerful and fast-acting disinfectant widely used in swimming pool water treatment. It works by oxidizing and eliminating harmful contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, algae, and organic debris—ensuring clear, hygienic, and safe water for all swimmers.

Once added to pool water, sodium hypochlorite rapidly converts into hypochlorous acid—an effective sanitizing agent that delivers immediate action. Its quick dissolution and strong oxidizing properties make it a preferred sanitizer for both residential and commercial swimming pools.

Recommended Application

• Dosage: Add 100–150 ml of sodium hypochlorite per 10,000 liters of pool water
• Frequency: 2–3 times per week, or as needed based on chlorine demand and test results
• Application Method: Pour directly into the pool while the pump is running, preferably in the evening
• Target Chlorine Level: Maintain free chlorine levels between 1–3 ppm
