left over pool chemicals

[centexpool]

OK,

Now that I have switched to BBB, will I have any use for the old chemicals?

Trichloro-s-Triazinetrione chlorinating pucks
Sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione "quick shock"

I thought I had read somewhere on here that the quick shock "could" be used when I start my pool again next spring to help raise CYA if needed. But I'm not sure..

thanks in advance!!!

They can be used next year (or later this year) if you find that you need to raise your CYA or for vacation maintenance if your CYA isn't already too high. Or you can ship them to me!! :D

Both can be used again.

Both add CYA (stabilizer) when used.

Both tend to lower pH as well, ESPECIALLY Tri-chlor pucks.

If you need chlorine RIGHT NOW and can't get bleach, you've got the Di-Chlor powder.

I keep di-chlor powder for just those times when I want to raise CYA. I usually like CYA around 30, but as we get into the Dog Days (like this Steam Bath Week here in the NY/NJ/CT area) I like to raise the CYA to 40 or even 50. So I use the Di-Chlor for that.

Keep them dry and cool.

thanks for the info.....

I'd rather save them for a rainy day then to just throw them out....
