Chlorine should be kept between 1-3 ppm at all times. Below that and the water is not sufficeintly sanitized. Above that and you should not enter the pool. A test kit will tell you the ppm, adust as needed daily. Pool & Spa

Yes bleach does contain the same active ingredient as liquid chlorine commonly used in swimming pools but it is at a much lower concentration. Generaly for swimming pools we use either 10% or 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite.
If a person is allergic to bleach they should not swim in a pool. Most pools contain chlorine, which is a form of bleach used to disinfect and sanitize water.
From my understanding and research, 1lb of calcium hypo = 1 gallon bleach of 10-15% sodium hypo.
0.1 gallon of bleach, or 12.8 ounces (just over 1.5 cups)
NO! bleach is sodium hypochlorite...." Liquid chlorine"
It's still poisonous, but when diluted with water, such as in the form of the sodium hypochlorite(bleach) / calcium hypochlorite solution used in swimming pools, the concentration becomes so low that it relatively harmless, yet still a powerful disinfectant. These solutions are still dangerous of heated, because chlorine fumes are likely to be produced. This is why in kitchens where bleach is used to sanitize dishes and surfaces, the solution containing bleach must be made using cold water.
No problem. Many swimming pools have more bleach in their water than the tiny bit your brother might have had.
No. Water cannot "deactivate" bleach. Water simply dilutes the concentration of the bleach molecules, which slows the bleaching action. However, the action continues so long as the bleach remains in a liquid state. To "deactivate" or neutralize bleach, you must use a neutralizing solution, such as sodium thiosulfate. There is a commercial product called Bleach Stop that will do the job.
Water
Yes, Chlorine is 1.5 times heavier than water. Chlorine is one of the most commonly manufactured chemicals, and can be used in drinking water and swimming pools as an antibacterial agent.
It's used to keep mainly the water clean - Also can use itself as it's own disinfectant.
it affects it by having non-toxic bleach inside of the water,therefore making it clean.
