Difference Between Liquid Chlorine and Household Bleach

[waterbear]

Also, I have seen pool chlorine that is 6%, exactly the same as bleach! I have also heard a lot of pool pros refer to liquid chlorine as "bleach" since that is what it is. You might want to tell them that liquid chlorine is how many commercial pools are santized and that sodium hypochlorite is the same thing as laundry bleach. Sometimes even the concentration is the same!

My pool store had bottles of 12% liquid chlorine that actually said called it bleach in smaller lettering.

I don't bother saying bleach to anyone now, I just say liquid chlorine or sodium hypochlorite, and they nod their head wisely.
