Re: Potassium Monopersulfate shock
Disadvantages of MPS shock:
1 it is expen$ive
2 it is only an oxidizer and not a sanitizer
3 it will show up as CC on a DPD or FAS-DPD test unless you use a special test kit (additional expen$e)
4 it can convert chloramines to nitrates which are algae food
5 it is expen$ive
6 see number 4!
7 it seems to work better with bromine than chlorine (but chlorine is STILL a better shock for bromine)
8 see number 2
9 it is expen$ive
10 see number 3
Advantages of MPS Shock:
1 They have cute names like Oxy-Brite, Blitz, and Renew
