Just test your water and use the bleach calc. to see if it is the strength that it says it is.

I just bought AquaChem liquid chlorine 10% (sodium hypochlorite) at Wal-mart for 2.49 gal. Isn't that a better deal than buying the household bleach which would take 2 gals to equal the 10% of the AquaChem liquid?

[mlh]

I used the 99 cent ultra bleach from Sav A Lot and it worked just fine for me.

I dunno ... I used the calculator last night to determine the ppm increase when adding a 1.42 gallon jug of Chlorox. It told me that amount would raise it by 5.5 ppm in my particular pool. I tested with Ben's kit about two hours after adding a jug and my FC had increased from 6 to 15 (I am running a high CYA pool).

I'm not sure how precisely the calculator aligns with reality. Or maybe I goofed it up somehow. I'm awfully new at this.
