Bleach as Chlorine

[mbar]

No, they are not true. Regular unscented household bleach has no addatives in it except some sodium (small amounts) If you pour the bleach in the stream of the return jets, you will never bleach your liner - you have more chance of bleaching the liner putting in calhypo. You can do a search on here and find out the advantages of using regular unscented bleach in the pool. Most of us on this forum have been using it for years with wonderful results.

Many pool stores sell "Liquid Chlorine" in gallon jugs that is 6% Sodium Hypochlorite solution. This is IDENTICAL to unscented "Ultra" Bleach sold in supermarkets. The only difference is the package.

If your pool store guy was talking about basic bleach, (and he probably was) then he was passing on the usual drivel that they are told to fling at unsuspecting customers.
