You sure can! It will, however increase the pH and salinity of your pool. Slowly, but surely. So keep some Muriatic acid on hand to correct this. See warnings, below.
Add a gallon of regular strength (5.25% concentration) liquid bleach (wear those swim goggles for safety) to raise the chlorine level of 20,000 gallons of water by 1ppm. Run your pump and wait 1 hour before testing the level of Cl. Continue adding bleach until you reach the optimum Cl level of 3ppm.
For added safety use chlorine test strips to detect the proper levels of 2-4ppm. Never swim in a pool with a Cl level over 5ppm.
WARNING: Always add acid to water, NEVER water to acid!
DANGER!: Store chlorine products and pool acids as far away from each other as possible! Never have them out at the same time! If accidentally mixed, evacuate the area and call 911 for "Chlorine Release Emergency".

You sure can - but you'd be sure daft to do so!
You raise salinity if you use sodium rather than calcium hypochlorite - though the latter's by-product is calcium carbonate which will precipitate if the pH goes out of range.
Apart from the risk of the household bleach having additives like surfactants, most of the contents of the bottle is water, so it's an extravagant way to go. Why go to the trouble and expense of having a pool built then use inappropriate additives? Buy the proper chlorine donor for swimming-pools. It is not that expensive and certainly more economical than bleach, especially if you buy the stabilised form. It also has little effect on pH.(Though if you use the stabilised form beware of excess stabiliser accumulation over time, for that eventually stops the hypochlorite from working.)

You may have orthophosphates. Their is a test kit to check for it.

Pool companies sell products to remove orthophosphates. Be sure to advise associate that you have above ground pool when choosing a brand.

A Perfect Swimming Solution?
The days are getting hot and the kids are begging for a trip to the beach or the public swimming pool to find some relief from the sweltering heat. But adults generally are not so keen on making this trip. Many people do not have access to a beach, and those that do oftentimes find them dirty, crowded, and potentially dangerous with the threats of rip tides and strangers. Public swimming pools are oftentimes unsanitary and some charge an entry fee. But one cannot blame the kids for wanting to go swimming so badly-- in the midst of summer, what better way is there to cool off and relax? The solution many families turn to is purchasing their own personal pool. However, installing an in-ground swimming pool generally costs the consumer tens of thousands of dollars. Permanent above ground swimming pools are a far more affordable solution. These pools range anywhere from $900 to about $5,000, depending on size and depth. Permanent above ground pools are much more practical than portable above ground pools, which generally cost around $300 to $400 dollars and must be replaced every few years. The advantages of owning a permanent above ground swimming pool are numerous. Moms and dads can always be sure that the pool is clean and sanitary. These pools are safer than public swimming pools or beaches because, being so close to the house, there is always somebody nearby to keep an eye on the swimmers. Above ground pools are shallower than in-ground pools, making them safer, but they are plenty deep enough for swimming, with most having a depth between 48 and 54. Families also do not have to make a special trip to go swimming when they own an above ground swimming pool; swimmers can simply throw on their bathing suits and run into the backyard. The purchase of an above ground swimming pool may at first seem costly, but the benefits of owning one’s own pool far outweigh the drawbacks. Having a personal pool is a safe and fun way to entertain the family during the summer. This investment will surely be appreciated by families for years to come.
