Can Clorox bleach be used in place of shock and if so is there a calculation formula?

Liquid shock is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite. Clorox bleach is 5.95% sodium hypochlorite. It's the same stuff, but a lower concentration. You would have to calculate how much shock is needed for your pool and make adjustments for the concentration level. It works just as good as high priced "pool shock". i have a 12x36 pool ..........how much Clorox do i need to make it clear? its not green ,its foggy!! If your filter is working, and your water is balanced chemically, but still cloudy, perhaps your water has particles too small to be caught in the filter. This is what happened to me this year, after a spring season of record-breaking pollen levels. A pool service technician suggested that I add 20 lbs of alum to my 16x32 in-ground vinyl liner pool. I followed the directions on the alum bucket, and voila, my pool is crystal clear!

What happens when you mix Clorox and brake fluid?

Most times, nothing. This is a confusion of the real question "What happens if I mix Pool Shock and brake fluid?". Answer: smoke and then fire. Clorox and pool shock are both oxidizers - lots of oxygen in it's molecular makeup waiting to combine with something. The difference is that pool shock is 50% - 60% reactive, Clorox is only 4% - 5% reactive. Brake fluid absorbs water from the air. The pool shock reacts with that water creating heat. The heat causes the brake fluid to smoke and if it gets hot enough, it will burst into flame. Note: This is a seriously strong chemical reaction. Fire hazard, burns, smoke inhalation, dangerous chemical waste, etc. can result if you try this. You have been warned!

How many gallons of Clorox bleach per 1000 gallons of pool water?

Such a small amount of water will require small amounts of chlorine. Not a good idea to use Clorox bleach. Purchase a test kit and thru repeat testing will you know what it takes for your pool at any given time. Vague, but there is no given formula for every situation. k
