yes you can but.....
you are going to get the clhorine smell ,just make sure how many gallons you need!
Around two Clorox 182 oz jugs,
3800 gals of pool water shock it with 1 gal bleach
Bleach or Clorox.
Absolutely do not mix shock with bleach. there are chemicals specifically designed to remove Iron from the water. Ask your pool supply store. Hatawa
Liquid shock is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite. Clorox bleach is 5.95% sodium hypochlorite. It's the same stuff, but a lower concentration. You would have to calculate how much shock is needed for your pool and make adjustments for the concentration level. It works just as good as high priced "pool shock". i have a 12x36 pool ..........how much Clorox do i need to make it clear? its not green ,its foggy!! If your filter is working, and your water is balanced chemically, but still cloudy, perhaps your water has particles too small to be caught in the filter. This is what happened to me this year, after a spring season of record-breaking pollen levels. A pool service technician suggested that I add 20 lbs of alum to my 16x32 in-ground vinyl liner pool. I followed the directions on the alum bucket, and voila, my pool is crystal clear!
To sanitize a 27-foot round above ground pool, you typically need about 1 cup (8 ounces) of Clorox bleach for every 5,000 gallons of water. A 27-foot round pool holds approximately 14,000 gallons, so you would use about 2.5 cups (20 ounces) of bleach. Always check the product label for specific instructions and adjust based on the pool's current chlorine levels and water conditions.
If mosquitoes laid eggs in your pool and shock treatment does not kill them, you can get rid of them using bleach. Pour chlorine bleach into the pool to kill them.
Most times, nothing. This is a confusion of the real question "What happens if I mix Pool Shock and brake fluid?". Answer: smoke and then fire. Clorox and pool shock are both oxidizers - lots of oxygen in it's molecular makeup waiting to combine with something. The difference is that pool shock is 50% - 60% reactive, Clorox is only 4% - 5% reactive. Brake fluid absorbs water from the air. The pool shock reacts with that water creating heat. The heat causes the brake fluid to smoke and if it gets hot enough, it will burst into flame. Note: This is a seriously strong chemical reaction. Fire hazard, burns, smoke inhalation, dangerous chemical waste, etc. can result if you try this. You have been warned!
Pour it into the skimmer while the pump is running.
Such a small amount of water will require small amounts of chlorine. Not a good idea to use Clorox bleach. Purchase a test kit and thru repeat testing will you know what it takes for your pool at any given time. Vague, but there is no given formula for every situation. k
To shock a pool, the general recommendation is to add 1-3 gallons of chlorine bleach (5-6% concentration) per 10,000 gallons of water. For 639 gallons, you would typically add around 0.06 to 0.19 gallons, which is approximately 8 to 24 ounces. Always check the specific instructions on the bleach label and test the water afterward to ensure proper chlorine levels.
To shock a 12,000-gallon pool using household bleach, you typically need about 1-3 quarts of bleach, depending on the desired chlorine level and the current water conditions. A common recommendation is to aim for a free chlorine level of 10-20 ppm. To calculate precisely, check the concentration of bleach you are using (usually around 5-6% for regular household bleach) and adjust accordingly. Always allow the water to circulate for several hours after adding bleach before swimming.
