Liquid Chlorine would be a very good addition to the water giving you a fast rise in your chlor. values with a slow drop off. Just what you need to offset algae bloom. This should be done at least once a week.

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.
