    Thank you! Thank you! How much bleach for just under 5K gallons?
    And will any residual bleach have an effect when the pump and chlorine get going? Like...are they explosive or anything together? (sorry - I did not ever do physics !)

    Bleach is chlorine, same stuff the SWG makes,

    Add a 3 quart jug to start, that will put you around 9 ppm

    Brush the pool, that will mix the bleach and get the gunk in solution to be eaten up.
