How much and what bleach would be used in a 28,000 gallon pool?
20'x40' rectangle 28K gal AG vinyl pool; Skimmer tabs; Pentair FSN+ 48 DE filter; Hayward 1.5hp pump; hrs; ; well; summer: none; winter: mesh; ; PF:4.3
For a pool with a PF of 4.3 (yours!), 1 gallon of 8.25% bleach (typical Walmart concentration, currently), containing about 0.6 lbs of chlorine gas equivalent, would add 4.3 x 0.6 ppm free chlorine to your pool . . . or 2.6 ppm FC.
Bleach initially raises the pH a bit, but after the chlorine is consumed, the pH drops back to the original value.
