If the shock says 1lb per 12000 gallon pool how many tablespoons for a 300 gallon spa?
It is 0.4 ounces.
Can you use chlorine bleach to clean your pool?
Answer#1You sure can. One gallon of regular household bleach (5.25% concentration) will raise the free Chlorine level in a pool of 20,000 gallons by 1ppm. If you wished to "shock" a 20,000 gallon pool you would need 20 gallons of household bleach. Keep the kids indoors, for safety reasons. Some swim goggles would be useful for your safety.Once your pool has seen it's "shock and awe", (and after Chlorine levels have fallen below 3ppm) Trichloro-s-triazinetrione (Tri-Chlor) is a better sanitizer, being that it contains the stabilizer cyanuric acid, slowing its degredation due to UV exposure.

Is chlorine ordorless?
No, it has quite a strong odour. If you have smelled household bleach or the liquid 'shock' that's added to swimming pools then you have experienced the smell of chlorine.
Can you use household bleach in swimming pool to get the green out?
Yes, however not at all effectively as you would require a large amount of household strength bleach to have the same effect as the stuff you would get from a pool supplies shop. Once the water has gone green it requires a "shock dose" of chlorine or similar to kill off the growth, usually 10-15L (~2.5-4gal) of swimming pool strength chlorine is sufficient to "shock" a household pool (~<100,000L). It would be more effective to use household bleach to prevent the green from forming in the first place

If mosquitoes laid eggs in your pool and shock treatment does not kill them, you can get rid of them using bleach. Pour chlorine bleach into the pool to kill them.
What is the difference between liquid pool chlorine and household bleach?
Pool shock is calcium hypochlorite. Liquid bleach is sodium hypochlorite. Liquid pool shock is sodium hypochlorite. Yes, they are all basically the exact same things, the only difference is which metal they are bonded with for delivery and stability. Calcium hypochlorite is the granulated form of pool chlorine. It is useful if you have an in ground plaster/concrete/gunite/tile pool as it supplies calcium to the water to help maintain hardness. Sodium hypochlorite is liquid form. This is useful to use if you have a vinyl lined pool since you don't need to maintain elevated calcium hardness in these types of pools. Household bleach (non scented) is 6% sodium hypochlorite by solution. Liquid pool chlorine is 10%-12% sodium hypochlorite by solution. Granulated chlorine is 65% calcium hypochlorite. 10oz of granulated chlorine = 1/2 gallon of liquid pool chlorine = 1 gallon of household bleach. These measurements will raise the chlorine level by 5ppm in 10,000 gallons of water.
