Great product but I can't get the package open!
I have used this product before and it is a great product. This was a good deal but I can't get the drum open - usually I can take out the plastic pieces that prevent the lid from turning (you are supposed to be able to just push them down and release the lid but it doesn't work - at least not with my hands) but this time, after a chisel and kitchen knife, I managed to get the pieces out that prevent the lid from turning to open, but it still will not turn. I'm leaving a 5 star review as I know this is a great product but for all i know it could be a drum full of baking flour. I appreciate good packaging and security but there are limits. And, because I bought it online I can't just take it back to the store and have them get it open. Perhaps most people are better at the mechanical side of things than I.....if I can ever get it open, I will buy more.Read full review

Cloudy
Something about this product leaves the pool cloudy. Clean filters, run 24/7, tried using Clarifier and Green to Clean that have worked everytime, nothing pool still cloudy. The Chlorine level is great, I don't know what happened, just that other people have had the same issue. Pool tests have revealed the pool was perfectly balanced. Will use in my pool in winter only when not in use, wont purchase again, sorry.
People, all pool containers this size open the same way, lol. Looks like childproof has bitten some grown ups, figure it out, great opening lid and safe.
Now, wow on the chlorine, very sharp on the nose, it is strong. Goes in the pool w/o too much floating on top like other brands can have. 60% cheaper then store bought chlorine pound versus gallon. And it keeps the chlorine level better, when I use the good store bought gallons I either have low chlorine the next day or none, this stuff lasts much longer days and days. Yes, I always add my chlorine when the sun goes down, but there is a lot of stuff in the pool all the time and the liquid chlorine seams spoken for whenever I add it, no matter what the cya level is. I still use it to keep CA down, but this product is a great additiion, especially in the dead heat of summer. One tub should last all summer, maybe 3 pounds a week, plus 1 or 2 gallons store bought a week.Read full review

Exactly as advertised!
Zappit, based on experience, is my most favorite pool shock that gets results FAST! Finally getting the algae killed off and am able to see the bottom of the pool (bought 100 lbs of some other brand and still had a green cloudy pool after 2 months!)
From now on I will only use this brand. At least until I switch to salt water after the huge price hike due to shortages!Read full review

Best Price Out There!
Was worried after reading a couple reviews that this product was its not advertised strength, which seemed plausible due to the incredible price on this. I can allay any concerns you might have: The product is exactly as advertised, 73% available chlorine cal-hypo, at the best price out there! Each time I add some my free chlorine levels rise to the expected levels, measured by FAS-DPD.
Some have complained about difficulty opening the bucket. I also had problems with the locking mechanism and in fact it broke off while I was trying to get into it; however, I just keep the lid closed tightly, which works for me. The bucket itself is of very high quality, if a little large for the contents. I like having a larger-than-required bucket, so again this was not an issue for me.
Highly recommend this product. You cannot beat this price!Read full review

Zappit works great!!
This is the best stuff for pool up keep. I love it. So glad I found it many years ago The price is really great. I live far from only one place that sells this & it is really high. I use it in my pool about every other day & then shock once a week( example Tue. Thur. shock on Sunday) pool stays beautiful saves me a lot of money & it is easy to use. Never hurts my eyes or skin. Thanks for a great price & product.Read full review

Good product, don't accept the weaker generic brand
Stopped the algae growth after months of trying different products.
Water is crystal clear and algae free.
Product is strong, easy to use and a good value.
Only problem is that the included scoop was halfway down the bucket.
Took a little while to get down to it.

Zappit Does the Job!
I absolutely love this product. I've used it for nearly three years and I find it to be very, very useful for keeping my pool clear throughout the year. I use it weekly in my 21,000 gallon grecian pool and I really don't believe that I would purchase any other CalHypo product because this one works so well. I get giddy everytime I purchase a new tub full as I know that my pool will be well cared for because I do the cleaning and maintenance myself. I use this product to give "punch" to my pool opening each year. I would recommend it and I absolutely love it!!Read full review

No algecide needed!
I added 4 lbs of this stuff to open my nasty green/black 20000 gal pool and decided to skip the algecide to see what it would do. In less than a weekend it was crystal clear! After spending hundreds of dollars on shock last year I couldn't be happier! It takes awhile to dissolve and will settle on the bottom so I always run my brush over it a time or two to help it dissolve.Read full review

BEST CHLORINE EVER
We have tried lots of chlorine, chemical combos, algae rid, mineral remover, ph balance etc. all through the years. This stuff is the best!!! Water stays sparkling clear all season. We have never had algae problems, funny coloured water, NOTHING after getting Zappit73. I DO NOT USE ANY OTHER CHEMICALS.....this is enough!!! The pool looks good, smells good....it's perfect!!!Read full review

They LED is a little hard to get off other than that great quality shock for the price
I didn't have to solve the top off but I was thinking I might have to before I used critical thinking and used a screwdriver and tapped it with a hammer it is just screwed on tight which is obviously to keep chemicals from spilling during shipment good idea at worth the trouble of getting it off. Keeps small children from accessing very hazardous chemicals. I will definitely be buying this product again!!!Read full review
