This answer assumes that HClO is the chemical in question.
Hypochloric Acid
ClO- is Hypochlorate, the added H+ makes it an acid.
Hypochlorous acid
HCIO does not exist. HClO with a lowercase, L, however is a molecular compound.
HCIO is hydrochlorous acid, a compound formed by combining hydrogen, chlorine, and oxygen in a specific ratio. It is a weak acid that can act as an oxidizing agent.
The conjugate acid of CIO- is HClO.

HCIO does not exist. HClO with a lowercase, L, however is a molecular compound.
The conjugate acid of CIO- is HClO.
HClO
The oxidation number of H in HClO is +1, as hydrogen usually has an oxidation number of +1. The oxidation number of Cl in HClO is +1, due to the overall neutral charge of the molecule.
The conjugate acid of ClO- is HClO. The conjugate acid of HClO is ClO2. The conjugate acid of HCI is H2Cl. The conjugate acid of Cl- is HCl. The conjugate acid of ClO is HClO2.
No, HCIO is not a strong electrolyte. It is considered a weak electrolyte. This means that it does not dissociate completely within a solution.
Used for salt water pools, it uses salt to create chlorine... here is a more advanced answer.. from me. .. The chlorine generator (also known as salt cell, salt generator, salt chlorinator) uses electrolysis in the presence of dissolved salt (NaCl) to produce hypochlorous acid (HCIO) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), which are the sanitizing agents already commonly used in swimming pools. As such, a saltwater pool is not actually chlorine-free; it simply utilizes a chlorine generator instead of direct addition of chlorine.
In organic synthesis, HCIO converts alkenes to chlorohydrins.In biology, hypochlorous acid is generated in activated neutrophils by myeloperoxidase-mediated peroxidation of chloride ions, and contributes to the destruction of bacteria.In water treatment, hypochlorous acid is the active sanitizer in hypochlorite-based products (e.g. used in swimming pools).In food service and water distribution, specialized equipment to generate weak solutions of HOCl from water and salt is sometimes used to generate adequate quantities of safe (unstable) disinfectant to treat food preparation surfaces and water supplies
