Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) for drinking water chlorination
Access to common chlorine generating products (HTH, NaDCC) is limited in Iraq and other Middle-Eastern contexts. Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) is available however, marketed for use in swimming pools as 'clean pool 90'. The tablets are 200g, with available chlorine listed as 90% minimum. The dosage would need to be reduced considerably for, say a 10m3 water truck.
My main concern, however, is whether this would be a suitable chemical for the chlorination of drinking water? To an untrained eye it looks similar to the Sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) used in Aquatabs, but I'm unsure whether any of the bi-products might be hazardous in drinking water.
As a slow release tablet the proposal would be to use this in a floating pot chlorinator.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
