High Density Calcium Hypochlorite of Low density?

Which is more effective the High density Calcium Hypochlorite or the low density Calcium Hypochlorite?  First let us give the meaning of density when it comes to Granules.  High density means that the compaction of granules are bigger and harder making it slower to dissolve.  The Low density Granular is the other way around.  Technically speaking, both have the same effectiveness in disinfecting the water born organism.  The only difference is what the client wants in their Chlorine.

This product is high density granular that dissolves slowly in order to maintain the disinfecting solution slowly releasing the amount of chlorine in each application.

Swimming Pool Water Disinfection
 
"For a new pool or spring start-up superchlorinate with 10 to 20 oz. of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 ppm available Chlorine. Check the level of available Chlorine with a test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH between 7.2 to 7.6.To maintain the pool, add manually or by a feeder device 2 oz. of this product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield available Chlorine residual between 0.6 to 1.0 ppm by weight. Stabilized pools should maintain a residual of 1.0 to 1.5 ppm available Chlorine. Test the pH available Chlorine residual and alkalinity of the water frequently with appropriate test kits. Frequency of water treatment will depend upon temperature and number of swimmers.

Every 7 days, or as necessary Superchlorinate the pool with 10 to 20 oz. of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 ppm available Chlorine. Check the level of available Chlorine with test kit. Do not re-enter pool until the Chlorine residual is between 1.0 to 3.0 ppm.At the end of the swimming pool season or when water is to be drained from the pool, Chlorine must be allowed to dissipate from treated pool water before discharge. Do not Chlorinate the pool within 24 hours prior to discharge.

Winterizing Pools – While water is still clear & clean, apply 0.6 oz. of product per 1000 gallons while filter is running, to obtain a 3 ppm available Chlorine residual as determined by a suitable test kit. Cover pool, prepare heater, filter and heater components for winter by following manufacturer’s instructions.

Spas, Hot-Tubs, Immersion Tanks Etc.
Spas / Hot Tubs - Apply 0.5 oz. of product per 500 gallons of water to obtain a free available Chlorine concentration of 5 ppm as determined by a suitable Chlorine test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH between 7.2 and 7.8. Some oils, lotions, fragrances, cleaners etc. may cause foaming or cloud water as well as reduce the efficiency of the product.
To maintain the water, apply 0.5 oz. of product in 500 gallons over the surface to maintain a Chlorine concentration of 5 ppm. After each use, shock treat with 1.5 oz of this product per 500 gallons of water to control odor and algae.

During extended periods of disuse, add 1.5 oz. of this product daily per 500 gallons of water to maintain a 3 ppm Chlorine concentration.

Hydrotherapy Tanks -Add 1 oz. of this product per 1000 gallons of water to obtain a Chlorine residual of 1 ppm as determined by suitable Chlorine test kit. Pools should not be entered until the Chlorine residual is below 3 ppm. Adjust and maintain the water pH to between 7.2 and 7.6. Operate pool filter continuously. Drain pool weekly and clean before refilling.
