Probably not unless you have added massive quantities. It is a low grade chlorine consisting mostly of inert ingredients instead of chlorine. Read and compare the percentages on the brands that you have available. The higher the percentage the better the product. BTW you can not bleach the water - you may over chlorinate at times thus you can bleach a vinyl pool liner.

∙ 15y agoYes, but keep in mind that any liner in an above ground pool may be affected by the bleach. In ways like changing the color or making it weak. No. Liquid household bleach is not the best thing to use in your pool. Some of that type of chlorine have addatives for laundry use and are not recommended for pools. Besides it is only 5% in strength. What you want to use is the 12.5% grade usually sold at pool stores. You probably would have to 4 to 6 times as much of the 5% chlorine to do the job that the 12.5% chlorine does.

Answer:The original answer, above, is a common one from pool store employees. However, bleach (sodium hypochlorite, sometimes called 'liquid chlorine') is commonly used by licensed pool servicemen throughout Florida on both residential and commercial pools.
It's also the dominant form of chlorine on large public pools, where it has displaced the used of chlorine gas.
Elsewhere, household bleach is widely and successfully used by followers of the so-called 'BBB Method', developed in the 1990s by PoolSolutions.com, and promoted there, and at PoolForum.com and TroubleFreePool.com.

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools and control algae. Don't use household bleach for this - it's not nearly strong enough. Get chlorine that's made for use in pools. The chlorine will be ineffective unless the pH is within the correct range.

This is Chlorine (Cl2) present in neutral bleach (NaCl2OH)
It's used to keep mainly the water clean - Also can use itself as it's own disinfectant.
Yes bleach does contain the same active ingredient as liquid chlorine commonly used in swimming pools but it is at a much lower concentration. Generaly for swimming pools we use either 10% or 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite.
