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.

It would be more effective to use household bleach to prevent the green from forming in the first place
