I imagine there are many like me (last year) that want to try the bleach method but expect difficulty convincing a significant other who may not be so open minded or haven't taken the time to do the research.

I think it would be very beneficial if there was a write up comparing why chlorine is the best sanitzer/oxidizer for a pool, the various forms chlorine comes in and the pros and cons of each form. Perhaps even include some of the common myths and objections you're likely to hear from pool store types on why you shouldn't use bleach.

I would be more than happy to write the text, but unfortunately don't know all the info. It would be great if those that do would pick a form and list the pros and cons, which I could then assemble. Unless of course someone in the know would just want to do the whole thing

I know if I could have printed out a logical, unbiased article on why bleach was as good as or better than anything at the pool store last year my life would have been a lot easier.

So, we've got-

Bleach, aka Sodium Hypochlorite in all it's various percentages.

Di-chlor granulated chlorine.

Tri-chlor granulated and formed.

Calcium hypo in varying strengths.

Lithium Hypochlorite.

Any others?

Anyone up to the task?
