Hey everyone I was wondering if this is ok to use. I have a SWG that I just installed but I want to get the levels up to where they need to be and the SWG maintains it. I’m using the bleach according to pool math app
Clorox Bleach?

Clorox bleach is NOT recommended. It has an additive called Cloromax. We are unsure what that is as the company responded to our requests several years ago that this product is NOT to be used in pools. We think it is a surfactant, that may cause your pool to foam up some. It can clog DE and cartridge filters (but not likely your sand filter).
We recommend you look for liquid chlorine. Readily available at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, some pool stores, farm and ranch stores, etc.

I’ve seen the Chloromax in action. It caused a neighbor’s pool to foam up quite a lot within 30 minutes. She was aerating to raise pH, but that’s still not normal
