Probably not unless you have added massive quantities. It is a low grade chlorine consisting mostly of inert ingredients instead of chlorine. Read and compare the percentages on the brands that you have available. The higher the percentage the better the product. BTW you can not bleach the water - you may over chlorinate at times thus you can bleach a vinyl pool liner.
Is the chlorine used by a pool chlorinator the same as household bleach?
Chlorine used in pools is much different from household bleach. Pool chlorine contains bacteria killing agents that are safe for human contact and, in most cases, do not cause health issues or rashes if used in moderation. Also pool chlorine does not have color removing agents and will not turn anything 'white', it is strictly used to keep pool water clean, bacteria free and clear. Household bleach, on the other hand, can be harmful to humans, animals and can also remove the color from clothing.

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
Is sodium hypochlorite harmfull to trees?
It probably is. This is the same chemical used to chlorinate pools. So I would think watering a tree with pool water would probably cause harmful effects to a tree or other plant life.
