∙ 14y agoThat would certainly be one way to chlorinate a pool, but I would still recommend getting a product that is specifically designed to chlorinate pools, rather than using a household bleach.
Honestly, unless there's an emergency that required bleach, I would say you're just wasting money. Bleach is about 12-15% chlorine, where Calcium Hypochlorite is about 65% chlorine. This is a granular chlorine that is safer and better than regular bleach.
