I'm Getting Read The Riot Act About Using Bleach By Hubby

[ChuckD]

Thanks for all the great info here, especially about the inert ingredients. I am going to sit down the computer-illiterate bugger this afternoon and tell him to read out loud (won't know if he's really paying attention if he is just reading off a screen). Yes, I'm the one that does the maintenance (testing), although he puts the stabilizer in under my direction. I already told him that if I ruin the liner I'll buy another. He said I'm not good on my word when it comes to money spending because of frugality (I won't want to spend that kind of money) if the liner does get ruined. He also feels I'm sticking to my guns because this is my inherited personality (he gets my goat by calling me by my sister's name because we all know she is the worst in never admitting she's wrong ) If all else fails here, I will drown him by weighting him down with about 15 gallons of bleach that have tiny pin holes in the plastic containers. If anyone calls looking for him, I'll tell them that he's out chlorinating the pool.

We definitely need a new forum here on 'Family Pool Management', or maybe 'Pool Family Management'.

The marriage counseling web-site is 3 forums over!

Tell him you have 17,000 people who agree with you and think he's wrong.

My mother-in-law thinks I'm pig-headed because I won't do what she says just 'cuz she says it. She right, of course!

My wife thinks I'm pig-headed only if I don't give in to hard evidence. Since I ALWAYS give in to facts , she's, of course, wrong--uh-oh, gotta run now.......

Very true. I've come across plenty of posts lately where the issue is NOT the pool

uhhhh...maybe you don't want to get him to read this thread..unless you really want a divorce

Just have him read the labels on all the products, Liguid Chlorine, Alk up, PH up, , etc, and then the Bleach, baking soda and borax, the ingredients are all the same!!

But I did give in about the clarify ball he wants to put in (he said our pool isn't clear enough, but close)... But I'm ready if anything UNRELATED happens to the pool... I know from experience... Well let's just say he is not one to let things go ... That's why he still has me ..... and this unrelated thing happens... The bleach gets blamed! LOL

I noticed that the clorox commercial site has an expired domain, so...

Here's an excerpt from the Clorox commercial service bulletin on Pool Sanitizing...


I have the 3 pool pages in pdf (53k), as well as the original 44 page pdf covering all the sanitizing uses (461k), if anyone needs it.

I noticed that too.

I would like to see them, if it isn't too much trouble.

And mysteriously it's returned. Maybe someone there reads the forum?

About a month ago I decided to email Clorox using the on-line help email address listed on their website. In my email I said I heard that you could use Clorox bleach to chlorinate a pool and asked them if that was true. Within minutes I received an email giving me instructions on how to properly use bleach in small or large pool.

In the back of my mind I have always been a little worried about the "inerts" listed on the labels. I now have no concerns after recieving that email. Clorox would not send out something like that if there could be any liability in using their product in a pool.

I am out of town using my laptop tonight so I don't have access to the letter but I will post in a couple of days.

Best of luck
