Bleach 2?

[Aquaman7]

Just bought this bleach yesterday and didn’t realize it was Bleach 2. Is it ok to add to pool?
Thanks

It is a slightly stronger concentration of Chlorox (7.55% vs 6.5 %). It does contain the Chloromax polymeres, but if you have been using Chlorox with Chloromax in your pool without problems then this stuff should be fine. Just change the strength in poolmath to calculate the correct amount to add.

Unfortunately no, I would not use it. Clorox had added proprietary fabric products to their laundry bleach that can cause side effects to pool water. I'd save that for the laundry room.

In NJ I hear Ocean State Job Lot is a good store for liquid chlorine.

Ok. Sounds good. thank you everyone for chiming in.

One question, will it be a good idea to use shock to maintain the chlorine levels in a pool instead of bleach? Figure the shock has a higher level of sodium hypochlorite and would be less expensive.

Do you mean Liquid "shock"?? Its Ideal! If you mean some sort of granular product.... uh, no. Not unless your pool has the ability to have the CYA or calcium higher without problems. Most folks can't.

Liquid shock and bleach are the same things. Liquid shock is often the less expensive option when you consider concentrations of sodium hypochlorite, yes.

In fact I have to bring up my CYA to turn on my SWG. Have it connected but not turned on yet. So granular shock is ok?

Great. I have to see how much the liquid shock is compared to chlorine.

Chlorine is becoming scarce these days.

Liquid Shock is chlorine but usually at a higher percentage strength, unless old.
