Bleach in a pool I assume you mean amount of chlorine in Swimming Pools?

Chlorine treatment of swimming pools. Normally the the amount of Chlorine in the water is checked by test strips, which are normally part of a pool treatment test kit. The disposable test strips are dipped in the water and will change color, comparing the color against a test chart determines if more chlorine needs to be added. You will also need to test the acidity level of the water i.e. pH. The pH for pools is determined with another type of test strip in the kit.

Another Answer: Actually you can use common bleach in your pool as well if you like, although Chlorine tablets are the easiest and more economical to use. They dissolve slowly and maintain a more constant chlorine level in the pool. Also, an OTO test kit (which uses drops) is far more accurate than test strips. Hatawa.

How much bleach should you add to a 23000 gallon pool?

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.
