Hi Lee! A word of caution about granular pool chlorine products. First of all, understand that these aren’t elemental chlorine...that’s a gas. The granular products are frequently a calcium chloride compound. In my opinion, this product has no place on a boat. It is a VERY strong oxidizer and will spontaneously combust if it gets wet, even just a drop or two of water. Very unsafe! There are “stabilized” chlorine products that will get the job done with much less risk. Just sayin’! Regards, Randy Pickelmann Cool Change, lying Rockland, ME Sent from my iPad

Randy, I did a test on the dock with 100 grams of the stuff in the bottom of a glass beaker, and added 5 ml plain waterloo it. My stuff gassed a little and then nothing. I then did the same experiment, with a disposable glove over the beaker and the water in a small container sitting on top of the stuff. Tilted the beaker and gas came off. The gas expanded the glove somewhat but no where near full. No fire. The storage instructions insist that the stuff be stowed in its original container or in a air tight container. The MDS chemical transport symbols show fire risk to be no existent when wet, just lots pf gas if cleaned up with water. So I store it in used 1 liter heavy walled drinking water bottles. Been doing this for the last 6 years since a liquid bleach spill damaged some teak.
