Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is not compatible for swimming pool use to control algae, etc.
The cheap little bottle of first aide grade peroxide is not a good reference point for the $$$ used for pool disinfection. First of all, the peroxide concentration in that little bottle is pretty low. It would take a whole pile of bottles to get enough peroxide into a swimming pool volume of water. Expensive.
Peroxide is also a very hazardous material when you go to higher concentrations to reduce the volume of liquid needed for a task. High level PPE and expensive storage provisions are needed. Shipping is expensive at higher concentrations as peroxide’s are a DOT hazardous material thus entail lots of shipping restrictions plus a hazardous cargo endorsement to the basic CDL.
So, hydrogen peroxide is not a compatible choice for pool disinfection.
A salt water pool is a valid option but it’s not a free ride running one. Salt water pools take their own variety of daily monitoring and fussing with water chemistry balancing. That said, if I were putting in a new pool or investing in upgrading an existing pool, I’d probably go with a salt water pool.
Appreciate the schooling. I’ve used 35% H2O2 with a UV filter in the hot tub for years and am not yet dead but getting closer.
Been a while since I’ve read up on it and see it’s not as accepted as before.
Still not a fan of chlorine.
Will read more on salt water
Thx
