pool shock vs. 12.5%

[bmay432]

Can someone tell me if pool shock is stronger or the same as 12.5%.
And also can someone tell me how to mix the powder pool shock. (ratio) for house wash. I always use 12.5% but I can get pool shock at a much closer location. Is it worth it or should I just stay with the 12.5%.

The powdered pool shock is actually calcium hypochorite. (versus what we all use.. sodium hypochlorite). The calcium chlorite is not a good choice. It will not mix well with water, it leaves a film ob everything and it just doesn't kill mold the same way the sodium hypo does.
