How much household chlorine bleach is needed in a gallon of water to produce an effective solution for disinfecting equipment such as splints and stethoscope?

You can sanitize non-porous materials using bleach. To do so, use 2-1/2 (two and a half) tablespoons of beach dissolved in 1 (one) gallon of water. In other words, use a 1% bleach-to-water solution. Since a gallon is 256 tablespoons the math is to multiply 256 by 1%; represented as an equation: 256 * 0.01 = 2.56 Bleach is caustic and will corrode metals. Do not let soak indefinitely. Typically, 30 minutes is all that is needed.

How much bleach should you add to a 23000 gallon pool?

Standard laundry bleach works fine in a pool. You should be sure to get plain bleach, not scented. The chemical in bleach is exactly the same as the chemical in pool chlorine but is generally about half the concentration. Most bleach is 6% sodium hypochlorite while chlorine for pools is 10-12%. So generally you would use about twice as much bleach as chlorine. The amount you add must be determined using a test kit to determine your current level of chlorine. An online calculator to use to determine the amount of bleach to add is at http://www.poolcalculator.com. As an example, if you have 0 ppm chlorine now and want to raise it to 4 ppm in a 23000 gallon pool, you would need to add 196 ounces (about 1-1/2 gallons) of bleach.
