bleach clouding water?

[mbar]

I am thinking that maybe the walmart bleach has something in it that clouded my water? Did this happen to anyone else? It is labeled Great Value and is 6% bleach. My water has cleared up, but today I put in Clorox 6% bleach and it did not cloud. Hmmmm, It may have been an algae outbreak, but I just think it would not happen that fast to get that cloudy, or is this something that can happen. Anyone's input would be appreciated! Thanks.

Marie,
I have used Walmart's generic bleach for years and never had that happen. I'm pretty sure that is what Janet uses, too. I don't think it is because of the brand of bleach. It is 6% sodium hypochlorite and 94% water, just like Clorox.

Yes, that's the only kind of bleach I use....but I guess it's possible that the batch that you had some sort of contaminant in it?

No "Fresh Lemony Scent!", right?
