Can you put bleach contained by an above ground pool instead of chlorine? Can you put bleach in an above ground pool instead of chlorine?...
Can you put bleach in an above ground pool instead of chlorine? My pool is 24 feet round and 4 foot deep. Will it hurt my liner in the long run? Is bleach and chlorine matching thing?
You can, but will need to use more. Chlorine is roughly speaking 10% and household bleach is about 3 or 4% chlorine. Would you want to swim in bleach?? I would never do that, it would also fade your bathing suits physical fast.
No it won't hurt your liner. Household chlorine bleach contains from three to five percent chlorine depending on the brand, so as Amo pointed out, you will need a lot. But, how will you determine the amount? And save in mind that there are bleaching products on the bazaar that are not chlorine. You can, but the results are VERY short-lived and you will find yourself with a continuous cycle of a cloudy or green pool. As expensive as it is, you are better off purchasing pool chlorine and checking the PH stability to maintain it.
Answers: You can use bleach in your pool soundly instead of, or in addition to pool chlorine. Many nation are advocates of bleach for pools. Most pool chlorine contains a "stabilizer" which acts to prevent sunlight from breaking down the chlorine. In time the amount of stabilizer reach a level that precipitates the use of ever increasing amounts of chlorine. Adding swimming pool chlorine increases the chlorine level but also increases the stabilizer stratum, which at a point you no longer want or need. Adding bleach (or non stabilized chlorine) at this point is exactly what you want to do.
Mix up your plain (non scented) chlorine in a 5 gallon bucket and pour it surrounded by your pool, making sure to keep it away from the pool walls. Your liner, equipment and children will be perfectly not dangerous and will not know the difference.
Bleach is commonly sold in 5.75-6.0% strengths. This is what you want, not the cheaper 3.00%. Read the label it should be down.
chlorine is much more concentrated form of liquid household bleach so yes you can use it -but your going to need an awful lot! Yes but it is not cost decisive since the tablets are concentrated calcium chloride and with liquid bleach ie is diluted and boils stale quickly
Possibly, but NOT CLOROX! It has added stuff.

But the stability may be a mess and you could cause skin and eye irritation. If you do this you have to be VERY CAREFUL!! I would not do it. Too risky. Not satisfactory PH balance. Chlorine is made for a pool. Bleach is not.Your loved ones will be in in attendance.
