6 or 8% bleach?
Hello, I have read in multiple places on this forum that if you are using bleach in your pool to use bleach that is 6% hyperchlorite. I have a vinyl lined Intex metal frame pool and am I having trouble finding bleach that is less than 8% hyperchlorite. Would this be terrible to put in my pool? Is there any sort of dosage accommodation to be made for more concentrated bleach? Thanks.

Re: 6 or 8% bleach?
Either one is fine. Most of us used to use 6% because that was what most stores sold. Nowadays, they are typically selling 8.25%. There is a bleach calculator that may be helpful to you when you are figuring out doses to add to your pool. It is in the Forum Q & A section and is one of the stickied threads at the top of that section.
