In a previous post it was recommended that a Polyquat algaecide be used with a 60% concentration of Poly [oxyethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene dichloride], and Arch Chemicals makes a 60% algaecide product under the brand name HTH that was sold by Walmart. I went to the local super Walmart this weekend looking for the product that was referenced and I found something very different. Not sure if Arch Chemicals changed the packaging or if the contents is completely different. Here is what I found, picture attached. The label reads "HTH Super Algaecide" and at the bottom of the bottle it states "60% Strength" Here are the ingredients.
Alkyl (60% C14, 30% C16, 5% C12, 5% C18) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride 30%
Alkyl (68% C12, 32% C14) dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride 30%
Inert ingredients 40%
Total 100%
Is this the same stuff to use that has been recommended?
