– These two things in the table are confusing: “Dosage unit per No. Liters: 1 ppm”, and ” Target Free Chlorine Residue (mg/L): 0.2″ . Does this mean that it is dosed with 1 ppm, but the expected residual is 0.2 ppm? It is weird that they are in different (though equivalent) units – ppm and mg/L.
– It seems that this is Tablet form, not “tablet or liquid”
– This is confusing: “Trichloroisocyanurate tablets which generate hypochlorous acid when dissolved (0.2)” Is that 0.2% chlorine?
