apostlej2015 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Just like Nitro mentions in his awesome writeup, I use MPS (small amount) with bleach to keep my pH at 7.4. Chemgeek has stated about a million times that MPS IS EFFECTIVE at oxidizing some types of waste that chlorine cannot. Wouldn't it make sense to use a small amount of MPS (like 1/2 oz) with the same amount of bleach everyday to make sure MOST of the waste is oxidized?

chem geek Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 There are only a small number of chemicals that get oxidized by MPS and not by chlorine. Many people use chlorine alone with no problems. You can certainly use MPS if you want to and it is net acidic so can help bring down pH or maintain it, but it's up to you. It's not necessary, but not harmful either. Even users of Nature2 with MPS find that they usually need to use chlorine on occasion to keep the water clear, particularly if they do not have an ozonator.

apostlej2015 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I mainly use it for knocking pH down. Just curious as to its overall ulitlity (and i have 3lbs of the stuff). Thx chemgeek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
