Answer#1Regular strength chlorine bleach is approximately 94.75% water by weight.
To make 2 gallons of water with 100 ppm of chlorine bleach, you would need to add 2.11 milliliters of bleach.
Liquid household bleach will contain anywhere between 3 and 10 percent chlorine. The powdered form of bleach typically contains 40 percent.
It is not recommended to use chlorine bleach in well water as it can be harmful to the environment and human health. If you need to disinfect your well water, it is best to consult with a water treatment professional to determine the appropriate method and dosage for your specific situation.
I do. Use half as much. Pool chlorine is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite Laundry bleach that I use is 6% sodium hypochlorite. Sometimes I dilute the pool chlorine by one part water to one part pool chlorine and use it just like regular laundry bleach.
The amount of chlorine shock always depend on how much you want to raise your cholrine level for and the total amount of water in your pool. I was told by pool experts that the amount is 2.5 gals per 16,000gals or 1.5 gals per 10,000gals, once a week. During the summer, make sure you shock every 7 days, after sundown, when all swimmers are done. Shocking at night keeps the chlorine in the water longer.
If you have too much combined chlorine in your pool, it can lead to eye and skin irritation, as well as create an unpleasant smell. To reduce combined chlorine levels, you can shock your pool with a chlorine shock treatment, which will break down the combined chlorine compounds and free up the chlorine to sanitize the water effectively. Regularly maintaining proper chlorine levels and practicing good pool hygiene can help prevent the buildup of combined chlorine.
For disinfecting water, you can use household bleach that contains 5-8.25% sodium hypochlorite. To treat 2000 gallons of water, you would need about 1 cup (8 oz) of bleach. Mix the bleach thoroughly and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before using the water.
Yes. A bad one too. If you swim at an outdoor or public pool, you will have smelled the chlorine that is added to clean the water. The taste is the same. Chlorine is used in the process or water purification and it can sometimes be tasted in your drinking water. Too much chlorine in your drinking water can cause erosive esophagitis. Its similar to heartburn but harder to get rid of.

If there is too much chlorine in your pool, you can first test the water to confirm the high levels. To reduce the chlorine level, you can aerate the water by running the pool pump and opening the pool cover to let sunlight break down the chlorine. You can also partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water to dilute the chlorine concentration.
It,s easy. Just Shock your pool with a chlorine shock and then make sure the chlorine level is where you need it to be. It, more involved if you go from Chlorine to Bacqucil. but why would you want to Bacqucil is so much nicer and easier.
