Can you use chlorine bleach to clean your pool?

Answer#1

You sure can. One gallon of regular household bleach (5.25% concentration) will raise the free Chlorine level in a pool of 20,000 gallons by 1ppm. If you wished to "shock" a 20,000 gallon pool you would need 20 gallons of household bleach. Keep the kids indoors, for safety reasons. Some swim goggles would be useful for your safety.

Once your pool has seen it's "shock and awe", (and after Chlorine levels have fallen below 3ppm) Trichloro-s-triazinetrione (Tri-Chlor) is a better sanitizer, being that it contains the stabilizer cyanuric acid, slowing its degredation due to UV exposure.

What happens when you pour bleach on an insect?

Short answer: they die. Long answer: the bleach causes softening of the exoskeleton, and renders it structurally instable. If you were to keep an insect in a jar full of bleach, for example, I'd wager it would be a gelatinous mass within a few days. Within just a few moments of pouring bleach on a cockroach, the insect began to writhe and squirm. It no doubt burns, and isn't a very humane way to kill the creature. However, it makes for an interesting science experiment.

The Brita water filter will remove the nasty tasting chlorine from the water. A chlorine detection kit (available at your local pool supply store) will detect the levels. Just be careful not to add it to water you plan to drink, OTO is poisonous.
