Mark V was a big proponent of this type of sanitizer. Never tried it, but one should always add chemicals to water and never vice versa.

I've used a cleaner called Oxy-Pro a H2O2 based powder mixed access to instructions and left over night it removes scale from kettles stains from fermenters and sanitizes as well
I double rinse after and have never had a problem

This morning a janitor here at work decided it was a good idea to mix bleach and another acid-based cleaner.  This caused a release of chlorine gas and an ambulance ride.

No exaggeration.  Here's an excerpt from the Control Room log:

A whole lot of people couldn't do their jobs for a couple of hours... during a refueling outage at a nuclear power station.  Any delay during outage time can potentially cost tens of thousands of dollars.  Some managers will be very excited about this event.

Bottom line:

Please don't mix bleach with anything, unless maybe you're a degreed chemist.

Please.
