Janet, that iwhatI was talking about when I said a .5%, that would be the strength of household bleach after the dilutiion. In Florida I am required to take Continuing Education hours for both my Barber and my Cosmetology licenses which include HIV/bloodborne pathgen education and also have a yearlybloodborne pathogen class for my job at the school I work at (a residential Deaf and Blind school). In all of these classes they said a dilute (usually 1 to 10) bleach solution is all that is required for sanitizing a blood contamination on a surface (where the blood is intact). It would make sense that where it it much more diluted (by being in 10000 gallons or more of water in a pool) would not take much at all and that normal chlorination would take care of it!
