Just wondering if anyone has had experience using pool shock in a sealed room.

Air is not ventilated and I can smell chlorine in the air. I'm wondering if this is going to get to dangerous levels of Chlorine in the air?
It will not be dangerous at the levels required for a sterile res.

Thanks for the serious answer lol was just concerned that it could be a problem.

Can anyone suggest an easy way to remove dead roots and debris that may have fallen into the res without having to move/ empty the buckets?

Too much chlorine. 1ppm is plenty.
Alright I'll dial it down to 1ppm - I have an algae outbreak atm I want to get rid of.

I have an aeroponic system that I designed my self and unfortunately I can't stop light getting into it with the way it's designed In a small space.

Will pondzyme survive with 1 ppm chlorine?

Not to my knowledge. Fix the light leak. The calcium hypochlorite is only a bandaid to that.

Surely chlorine should work as a permenant fix it's used in swimming pools all the time and they don't stop the light leak in the pools?

Would be quite a bit of hassle for me to line nearly 8m of exposed reservoir so to the size of it. It's 500l in total 8m x 0.5m x 0.34m worth of totes connected together

The roots don't sit in this reservoir the roots are in light proof pipes above the reservoir. It's just the nute tanks

Sometimes pools need an algaecide to clean it up and prevent, haven't run into that with my hot tub but its always covered too.

I might try putting filters on my return line and on the intake to each of my pumps and just clean the filters every week and hope that does the job, if the filters catch all the debris it should hopefully be easy to clean it all out
