As you have noted, it is the same as bleach, just stronger. If you don't mind handlling the strong stuff more carefully and the price is cheaper per ppm that regular bleach, this is a great way to do BBB. I can get similar chlorine locally for about that price that I know is fresh. That's what I use (unless I run out and it's late, then I go to the grocery store and buy whatever bleach is on sale )
