35% Spa Science Hydrogen Peroxide is a great chlorine alternative. 4 oz per 100 gallons of hot tub water every 3-4 days.
A 100 ppm hydrogen peroxide level must be maintained at all times. You may exceed 100ppm safely. Our 0– 400ppm hydrogen peroxide test strips are an easy way to ensure minimum levels are maintained.
When switching and using 35% Hydrogen Peroxide as a chlorine alternative we recommend starting with fresh water.
Also bi-weekly filter flushes help reduce early decomposition, resulting in less hydrogen peroxide needed to maintain optimal levels.
Our 35% Spa Science is 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide labelled for intended use.
Benefits of using 35% hydrogen peroxide as a chlorine alternative.
Chlorine is a common disinfectant used in water treatment and swimming pools. However, chlorine can produce harmful byproducts, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), which are linked to cancer and other health problems.
35% hydrogen peroxide is a safe and effective when diluted properly. It is a powerful oxidizer when contacting organic material. Organic material includes wood, soil, agea, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into harmless water and oxygen, so it does not produce any harmful byproducts.
Here are some of the benefits of using 35% hydrogen peroxide as a chlorine alternative:
- Safer for your health: Hydrogen peroxide is a non-toxic at low concentrations and a biodegradable substance. 35% Hydrogen peroxide can be dangerous and must be handled and stored appropriately. DO NOT DRINK 35% hydrogen peroxide. Federal water treatment levels below 1100ppm are considered GRAS generally regarded as safe. 1100ppm is 0.1100%. Most of us have experience with 3% hydrogen peroxide and the bubbling it causes when poured over a scrape or cut. 35% is 10 times more concentrated! 35% hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxide and corrosive and must be handle with care. When diluted properly It is safe for humans, animals, and plants. Chlorine, on the other hand, can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It can also be harmful to aquatic life.
- More effective oxidizer. Hydrogen peroxide is more effective at oxidizing unwaa wider range of pathogens than chlorine. It is also effective at killing pathogens that are resistant to chlorine.
- More environmentally friendly: Hydrogen peroxide does not produce any harmful byproducts, so it is safer for the environment than chlorine. Chlorine can produce THMs and other harmful byproducts that can pollute waterways and harm aquatic life.
- Less corrosive: Hydrogen peroxide is less corrosive than chlorine, so it is safer for pipes and other equipment. Chlorine can corrode pipes and equipment, which can lead to leaks and other problems.
How to use 35% hydrogen peroxide as a chlorine alternative
35% hydrogen peroxide can be used as a chlorine alternative in a variety of applications, including:
- Water treatment: Hydrogen peroxide can be used to disinfect drinking water, wastewater, and swimming pool water.
- Food processing: Hydrogen peroxide can be used to disinfect food surfaces and equipment. It can also be used to kill pathogens on fruits and vegetables.
- Healthcare: Hydrogen peroxide can be used to disinfect medical instruments and surfaces. It can also be used to clean wounds.
Conclusion
35% hydrogen peroxide is a safe and effective alternative to chlorine. It is more effective at killing pathogens, more environmentally friendly, and less corrosive than chlorine. 35% hydrogen peroxide can be used in a variety of applications, including water treatment, food processing, and healthcare.
Important safety information
35% hydrogen peroxide is a concentrated solution and can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It is important to wear safety glasses and gloves when working with 35% hydrogen peroxide. If you get 35% hydrogen peroxide on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water. If you get 35% hydrogen peroxide in your eyes, flush them immediately with water for 15 minutes. If you inhale 35% hydrogen peroxide, get fresh air immediately. If you experience any discomfort after being exposed to 35% hydrogen peroxide, seek medical attention.
