[Killietalk] Bleach barrel question

[Scott Davis <unclescott at prodigy_net>]

Here's a good question for a couple of days ago - with a cold wave rolling across much of the country tonight.

I have a 32 gallon trash can set up to bleach funky tanks and some gear (3 gallons of bleach and the remainder water). Next to it is a 32 gallon trash can with a sodium thiosulphate solution. Obviously a simple sequence for cleaning and de-bleaching what ever is put in the first trash can.

The operation has continued, although items were left in a little longer lately, just in case the process slowed down.

Most everything has been removed from them with the current cold wave rolling in.

Would it have been possible to toss in a liberal handful or four of salt to keep the solutions from freezing up and continuing to do what they were set up to do?

Thanks and all the best,

Scott
