    I was wondering what if any is the difference between Calcium hypochlorite & Bleach? My pool is green & I am trying to fix it. I have added Calcium hypochlorite but do I need to go buy some bleach instead. I have been reading for hrs on your site & I am very overwhelmed. I do have a basic test...
