Is this "bleach" any good?

[PoolGate]

Just got back from Home Depot where they had lots of the below "bleach". I bought a few not knowing the concentration of bleach or exactly what is in it since I could not get Internet access on my phone while in the store. I am hoping someone here could tell me! I got it mostly because all the sheep were shopping for things they didn't need and figured when I went back it'd be sold out. I also got the last HD version of this as well. Also no clue what is in that.

Post a pic of the actual label on your bottle. It looks ok for pool use from what I can see.

You see where it says "The surfactants in this product are biodegradable"? That is a red flag.

Pure liquid chlorine only has 100% sodium hypochlorite. Those other sodium compounds are the problem in pools.

That is not recommended for pool use.

OK figured as such! Thanks I'll keep looking for regular bleach.

My local pool supply store has 10% for $9/gallon. What a rip! I think I'll just open and turn on the swg. I'll crank up the heat if needed.

What's your calcium levels??

5 months ago it was 350.

If you tend to drift towards the low end of calcium I'd suggest just using some cal-hypo. It'll likely be alot easier than stressing about running the equipment. I wasn't sure really if you had a more recent test result than your logs had thus the question.

Check Walmart's pool section- gallon of 10% is $3.64 . Website may say its out of stock but we keep seeing it in person.

If I'm not mistaken check Clorox Germicidal is okay.....but check.

I do have a 3 year old bucket of pucks. What is the shelf life on those? I need CYA anyway.

As long as the pucks did not get wet I think they will be good.

Should be good if they've remained dry. Careful opening the lid....could give you a gas attack of bleach. Make sure they're not copper containing.
