It's a short episode this week as we dive into a new topic: different kinds of chlorine. The next few episodes will focus on liquid chlorine, calcium hypochlorite, trichlor, and salt generated chlorine in that order. As a point of order, we should also tell you this: NEVER mix or store different kinds of chlorine together. ------------------------------------ Connect with Orenda Technologies Website: https://www.orendatech.com Help Center: https://ask.orendatech.com Blog:
