I am trying to get the Houston area YMCAs to use Calcium Hypochlorite instead of Sodium Hypochlorite in their pools and did a google search and the articles kept saying that there was no difference in toxicity between the two. We know that is not the case but I need scientific proof that Calcium Hypo is safer. Does anyone have any good references for this?
Also, my stepdad was wondering if he could mms in his hot tub. Or is Calcium Hypochlorite better? Thanks, Emily
