how much chlorine do I put for a 1,718 gallon pool
You should try to maintain 2=4 ppm
Depends on the size of the pool. Actually, a more useful answer is to simply use 2 qts of regular, unscented, household bleach for every 10,000 gallons of pool water. ofarley@gmail.com
Let's say about 30 gallons.
400k btu
None. That is extremely unhealthy to your child.
2gallons per 10k of water
Bleach is unstabilized chlorine. It is just a weaker form of the chlorine you buy at the pool store.
The Pool will probably dilute it too much.
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.
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.

Almost nothing if theres a cover on it, otherwise you can lose a few gallons on a hot sunny day.
If a person is allergic to bleach they should not swim in a pool. Most pools contain chlorine, which is a form of bleach used to disinfect and sanitize water.
Yes.
