    Sodium persulfate is Na2S2O8 and is not the same as regular non-chlorine shock which is potassium monopersulfate where the critical part of it is KHSO5. Sodium persulfate is a VERY strong oxidizer with a reduction potential of +2.010V for S2O8(2-) + 2e- --> 2SO4(2-)

    Ben indicated on PoolSolutions that persulfate shouldn't be used (see this link).

    Thanks for the link. Now, all I have to do is take this pail to the local chemical disposal. I'm tired of moving it around and based on that, I will not be adding it to my pool.
