When you disinfect the swimming pool in the early morning, pungent gas is emitted because detergents are mixed with pool chlorine tablets. If the tablets are used for disinfection, it is quite easy to touch them accidentally. Such seemingly accidental events in daily life are actually “crises” due to the incorrectly master chlorine tablets.
Chlorine tablets are highly effective disinfectants and are extremely common to use in daily life. If you are not careful about their use conditions, you will lose their disinfection property and pose safety hazards. On that note, let’s learn about some cautions so that you can use them scientifically and safely.
I. Buying chlorine tablets
Choosing the right product is the first step in everything.
1. Identify regular channels
When buying chlorine tablets, always choose regular dealers, the official company website, or big e-commerce websites. Never buy tablets from street vendors or shady online sellers. The tablets from such irregular sources usually skip rigorous quality inspections. Their useful chlorine content will be below specifications, and they may even use lower-quality components. Consequently, neither their decontamination functionality nor safety will be assured.
2. Check the product label
Read the label on the packaging of the product carefully. You should check detailed information such as the product name, major ingredients, effective chlorine content, manufacturing date, shelf life, and use standards. In authentic chlorine tablets, the information should be listed. Under normal circumstances, good-quality chlorine tablets have around 88-90% effective chlorine content. If the printed effective chlorine content varies significantly, you’d better act with caution. Also, ensure the product has a production license number, which is a significant marker of lawful manufacture.
3. Beware of low-price traps
The production cost of chlorine tablets is affected by materials and production technologies. Don’t be lured by cheaply priced products and purchase tablets that are below the market standard price. If not, you will fail to achieve the intended disinfection function. In addition, due to quality problems, they might even be toxic to humans and the environment.
II. Use of chlorine tablets
Standardized operation is the core of functioning.
1. Do a good job of personal protection
When utilizing chlorine tablets, wear rubber gloves and masks. The tablets are corrosive and irritating. They can cause burns and allergies when introduced directly onto the skin. Their volatile gases, when inhaled, will irritate the respiratory tract and lead to suffocation and coughing. Moreover, accidental contact with the eyes may lead to extensive damage. From now on, protective measures must be taken, and even minor contact cannot be ignored.
2. Accurately control the dosage
According to the real disinfection needs, use chlorine tablets strictly in compliance with the dosage shown on the product instruction manual. If disinfecting drinking water, calculate the dose as accurately as possible based on water quality. Overuse of chlorine tablets is not good. This will result in excess residual chlorine in water with a foul smell and irritate human skin. While too little will be ineffective in killing bacteria and won’t satisfy the needs of disinfection.
III. Storage of chlorine tablets
Proper storage is a guarantee of safety.
1. Choose a suitable storage environment
Store the chlorine tablets in a cool, dry, and ventilated place. Prevent them from sunlight and heat. Sunlight and warm temperatures tend to accelerate the breakdown of tablets and influence their disinfection capacity. The temperature of the storage room must not be above 30℃, while the relative humidity should not exceed 80%.
2. Sealed storage
Chlorine tablets are also prone to decomposition through the absorption of moisture. Therefore, you must ensure that their packages are sealed when storing them. When the packaging has been compromised, move the tablets into an airtight container for storage. Meanwhile, they must be stored away from volatile, explosive, and inflammable chemicals to prevent accidents.
