Can I use a ball valve for Sodium Hypochlorite service?

FAQ
Provided the media is particle free, we recommend using a PVC body with Teflon? seats and Viton? O-rings. We also recommend the addition of a 1/8" vent hole drilled and deburred on the upstream side of the valve. What this will do is when the valve is in the closed position, the cavity of the ball will remain fluidized, eliminating dead space which could lead to crystallization and gas build up in the cavity of the ball.

Is sodium hypochlorite (SH) the best disinfectant to use?

Safe Water System

How much sodium hypochlorite is used in a swimming pool?

FAQs
There are too many factors which determine the chlorine demand in any application, including swimming pools. However, one ounce of product in 1000 gallons of water will establish 1.0 ppm of chlorine. Therefore, as an example, a typical pool of 10,000 gallons would need 10 ounces of sodium hypochlorite to establish 1 ppm of chlorine. Thereafter, frequent testing of the water will determine how much more to add in order to maintain a proper chlorine level between 1.0 and 3.0 ppms of chlorine.

Why Not Use A Poppet Valve Instead of Reedvalves?

People regularly ask me why the pulsejet's reed valves can't be replaced with the same type of valves you find in a car engine. Poppet valves are many times heavier than those springy little reed-valves and would therefore open and close far too slowly. In a car engine it takes quite a few horsepower to open and close the valves at the same rate they'd need to operate in a pulsejet engine.
