Yes, bleach is bleach (Cl2). There is also dry powder, gas and brickets. One thing to keep in mind is that it comes in different concentrations. Laundery bleach can eat cloths, but it is only about 6% Cl2. So you may not be getting the best buy for pool use.
Depending on the color and type of fabric, unless it was white to begin with, generally no, it will not turn a pure white color. Bleaching clothes,really dark colors especially, that aren't intended to be bleached can leave them looking such shades as Oranges, browns, tans, and blotchy looking. This all depends on the shade and type of fabric you begin with ofcourse.
It depends on if you have a real swimming pool in your backyard or not. If you have one of those cheap plastic small Swimming Pools that you can't even fit 3 people in, than it's not a good idea to put bleach in your swimming pool. Either bleach or chlorine needs to circulate with a pump to be effective. If you have a nice big one like you would see at the recreation center or something, than yes you can use bleach or chlorine if you use a water test kit to first determine the Ph level.
"You can, but it's really a waste of money. Bleach contains about 12-15% chlorine, as does regular liquid chlorine.
You're much better off getting Calcium Hypochloride. This is a granular chlorine, safer, lighter, and about 68% chlorine."
Answer:The original answer above, or some variant of it, is often given by pool store employees, when asked this question.However, bleach (sodium hypochlorite, sometimes called 'liquid chlorine') is commonly used by licensed pool servicemen throughout Florida on both residential and commercial pools.
It's also the dominant form of chlorine on large public pools, where it has displaced the used of chlorine gas.
Elsewhere, household bleach is widely and successfully used by followers of the so-called 'BBB Method', developed in the 1990s by PoolSolutions.com, and promoted there, and at PoolForum.com and TroubleFreePool.com.
The chlorine percentage varies from 6% (household bleach) to 15% (commercial bleach trucked to storage tanks). Costs also vary.
In small quantities, bleach is often cheaper than other forms of chlorine. One gallon of 6% bleach contains approximately 1/2 pound of chlorine equivalent. One pound of calcium hypochlorite (not: hypochloride) contains about 2/3 pound, and a pound of trichlor tabs contain about 0.9 lbs of chlorine equivalent. Thus, if bleach is $2.25/gal at Walmart, you are paying about $4.50/lb of chlorine equivalent. This compares favorably to one pound of cal hypo shock (at Leslies, $4.50/lb) at about $7.00/lb of chlorine equivalent, or one pound of trichlor tabs (at Leslies, $4.25/lb) at about $5.00 /lb of chlorine equivalent.
In larger sizes, trichlor is likely (as of 2012) to be somewhat cheaper than bleach.
Yes you can, but wash your hair as soon as you get out. Chlorine can turn blond or light hair green, even if it's natural. If you leave the chlorine out of the pool your hair can still turn green from the algae, I've witnessed this. You'll be fine as long as you shampoo as soon as you get out. Or use a swim cap to keep your hair dry if you can't wash it right away.
Just wash normally in hot water. I did not know that there was a rule. I wear my swimsuits to the beach and to the pool. Nothing has ever happend to my swimsuits or to the pool.
It is possible to use household bleach in a pool but it can affect the chemical balance of the pool. It is recommended that chlorine be used instead.
Yes, but it will take more and won't last as long as pool chlorine.

Stick to using chlorine products specifically designed for pools.

NO! There are often stabilizers in pool chlorine tablets that make the tablets last longer - use a bottle of bleach (sodium hypochlorite) instead.
Can you put bleach in a kitty pool?
Yes but you also need chlorine stabilizer (CYA) or the chlorine will be destroyed by sunlight in a very short time or you need to add the bleach in doses thoughout the day to maintain the chlorine level. Bleach is the same as liquid pool chlorine but at a lower concentration.
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.
