Lead in chlorine bleach

[CarlD]

Lead?

That's a new one on me!

[chem geek]

That is simply pure unadulterated baloney! Bleach and chlorinating liquid contain sodium hypochlorite, sodium chloride (i.e. salt), and some sodium hydroxide (i.e. lye) and of course water. A typical product specification is shown here where you can see a very small amount of trace metals, but no lead.

Yeah, who would want to wash their clothes in bleach if it contained lead? It would be like lead paint!

As Forest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does!"

Sounds kinda like your pool man might contain lead. Perhaps he ate some paint chips as a child.
