Calcium hypochlorite is a white solid that contains 65% available chlorine and dissolves easily in water. Calcium hypochlorite is very stable and can be stored for an extended period of time. Calcium hypochlorite is a corrosive material with a strong odor. Reactions between calcium hypochlorite and organic material can generate enough heat to cause a fire or explosion. It must be kept away from organic materials such as wood, cloth, and petroleum products. Calcium hypochlorite readily absorbs moisture, forming chlorine gas.Calcium hypochlorite can be dissolved in a mixing/holding tank and injected in the same manner as sodium hypochlorite. Alternatively, where the pressure can be lowered to atmospheric, such as at a storage tank, tablets of calcium hypochlorite can be directly dissolved in the free flowing water.
