Best dry-acid alternative (sodium bisulfate, scoop-and-pour) · Best for: Anyone with kids, an enclosed pool shed, or a spa under a cover. Dry acid (sodium bisulfate) ships as a granular powder that you scoop from a pail — no fumes, no splashing, no concentrated liquid to spill. The trade-off is roughly 2x cost per dose and slower to dissolve.
