Not sure where this should go but I want to make sure to get the word out amongst the community. For anyone with social media followings, you could save a life by sharing.

Can't make a dehumidifier but we are going to Mars.....speaking of these water condensors, be sure to clean out when bottom of "water bucket: starts to feel slimy....it's a beautiful pairing of bacteria and mold.....at 200x it looks like something from Hell...yuk ! Usually only takes about a week to form......ya can't stop it from occurring.

There's this irrational fear about Sodiyum ions.

Doing things when money is not a concern is easy. It’s when corners are cut in the name of cost that you get products like this.

I would hope so, bleach is what I use ( 50/50).

What is pool bleach?

I've used both in my hot tub. But I decided bleach works better for me. I already have slightly hard water with some Ca, so adding more just makes the pH rise more. One leaves salts and the other Ca.

I'd use either for cleaning dehumidifiers though. I'm not a Hydro guy, but I'm guessing the Ca hypochlorite would be better than the sodium. But I'm not Hydro expert.

Just a generic term for pool/spa disinfectant;the chlorine derivative products to kill/prevent microorganisms in said waters. The pool products usually come as dry powders/crystals and store much longer than liquid bleaches.

I know what you're saying. The specific pool bleach you're talking about is just a higher concentration of sodium hypochlorite than Clorox.

I have a couple of different pool shock chlorines in dry form.
