Answer#1Regular strength chlorine bleach is approximately 94.75% water by weight.
I do. Use half as much. Pool chlorine is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite Laundry bleach that I use is 6% sodium hypochlorite. Sometimes I dilute the pool chlorine by one part water to one part pool chlorine and use it just like regular laundry bleach.
Liquid household bleach will contain anywhere between 3 and 10 percent chlorine. The powdered form of bleach typically contains 40 percent.
The amount of chlorine shock always depend on how much you want to raise your cholrine level for and the total amount of water in your pool. I was told by pool experts that the amount is 2.5 gals per 16,000gals or 1.5 gals per 10,000gals, once a week. During the summer, make sure you shock every 7 days, after sundown, when all swimmers are done. Shocking at night keeps the chlorine in the water longer.
Answer#1No. Chlorine (though deadly) is non-flammable. Pure chlorine can, however react explosively with certain metals. Much the same way metallic sodium reacts with water. BOOM!
a dollar- that's how much shock for the pool costs
Yes. A bad one too. If you swim at an outdoor or public pool, you will have smelled the chlorine that is added to clean the water. The taste is the same. Chlorine is used in the process or water purification and it can sometimes be tasted in your drinking water. Too much chlorine in your drinking water can cause erosive esophagitis. Its similar to heartburn but harder to get rid of.
Adding bleach to purify well water is perfectly normal and very effective. Bleach in controlled amounts cleans a well and pipes of impurities. If you call for a well water technician to clean your well water of bacteria he will first use chlorine (granulated bleach ) then later install a filter or UV lamp to continue the process.2 -I usually add about 2 cups of plain bleach to my well twice a year. It gets rid of the egg smell and kills bacteria. You can start with less and see if that does the trick. By the way, I used to work at a water treatment facility and had to pour pure chlorine into the system, bleach is just very diluted chlorine and is fine in low quantities.

It,s easy. Just Shock your pool with a chlorine shock and then make sure the chlorine level is where you need it to be. It, more involved if you go from Chlorine to Bacqucil. but why would you want to Bacqucil is so much nicer and easier.
One tablespoon.
Use a chlorine reducing agent. You can get them at the pool supply. One is called After Shock, but there are others.
