Yes, bleach contains chlorine, so using bleach will raise the chlorine level in a pool or water system.
Color safe non-chlorine bleach is not as effective at killing germs as chlorine bleach. While it can help remove stains and brighten colors without damaging the fabric, non-chlorine bleach may not provide the same level of disinfection as chlorine bleach. To ensure proper germ removal, it is recommended to use chlorine bleach or a disinfectant laundry product.
To raise the chlorine level in your pool after using copper sulfate, you can add chlorine shock or liquid chlorine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosing based on your pool's size and current chlorine levels. It's also important to test the water regularly to ensure the chlorine level is maintained within the recommended range.
Yes, chlorine is used in bleach. It is commonly found in household bleach products that help in cleaning, disinfecting, and removing stains.
Non-chlorine bleach is a type of bleach that uses hydrogen peroxide or oxygen to whiten and brighten fabrics. It is a gentler alternative to chlorine bleach and is often used for delicate fabrics or colors that may be damaged by chlorine bleach.
Bleach is often called chlorine bleach because it contains sodium hypochlorite, which is a compound made from chlorine. Chlorine is a key ingredient in bleach that gives it its disinfecting and whitening properties.

Yes but you also need chlorine stabilizer (CYA) or the chlorine will be destroyed by sunlight in a very short time or you need to add the bleach in doses thoughout the day to maintain the chlorine level. Bleach is the same as liquid pool chlorine but at a lower concentration.
Chlorine will not raise the total alkalinity level in a pool. However, if you are trying to raise the total alkalinity, you can add small amounts of baking soda.
Using regular chlorine bleach (5% solution) at a rate of 6.5 ounces of bleach per 1000 gallons of water gives a chlorination level of 2ppm per 1000 gallons. To get the rate for 2500 gallons, multiply 6.5 by 2 to get 13 ounces for 2000 gallons, then divide 6.5 by 2 to get 3.25 ounces (the amount of bleach needed to treat 500 gallons) and add that to the 13 ounces to get a total of 16.25 ounces of chlorine bleach per 2500 gallons of waterat a level of 2ppm.For a swimming pool, you would likely want a 3ppm chlorine to water ratio (24.375 ounces bleach per 2500 gallons water).
The amount of bleach you can add to a pool depends on the desired chlorine level and the concentration of the bleach. Generally, for a typical concentration of household bleach (around 5-6% sodium hypochlorite), you would add about 1 quart (32 ounces) to raise the chlorine level by approximately 3 ppm in a 15,000-gallon pool. It's essential to test the water before and after adding bleach to ensure safe and effective disinfection. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and pool care recommendations.

Yes. Unless it says "non chlorine bleach", it has chlorine in it.
Bleach is often called chlorine bleach because it contains sodium hypochlorite, which is a compound made from chlorine. Chlorine is a key ingredient in bleach that gives it its disinfecting and whitening properties.
Bleach smells of chlorine because if you add an acid to bleach, you will produce chlorine gas.
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.
