Question about 100% calcium hypochlorite

[Guest guest]

Hello,

As I posted recently, I found a very inexpensive brand of pool shock

that is 100% calcium hypochlorite.

I have posed the question to Jim, and am now awaiting a response, but I

thought I'd see if there are any chemists in the house who have an

opinion...

My question is, should I worry about diluting/cutting it with something

- calcium carbonate maybe - or should it be ok to take as is? I'm

guessing I should at least adjust the amount accordingly, since the same

physical amount will be twice the 'strength' of the 50% version?

I'm mainly just wondering if the calcium carbonate that is part of the

other stuff serves an important need as some kind of buffering agent?

I'd hate to die from a simple experiment on myself...

Thanks again,
