I sold a lot of liquid chlorine (highly concentrated bleach) when I worked at a pool store. It's actually a better way to add the chemical, because you don't have everything concentrated in your skimmer basket.Has anyone ever heard of putting liquid bleach in their swimming pool as opposed to chlorine tabs or powder?
Yes I did that, but I would have to use about 5 times as much household bleach as pool chlorine.
In recent years, concern regarding the safety hazards associated with liquid chlorine has grown to such an extent that several major cities now restrict transportation of chlorine within their boundaries. Tablets, ( KINTABS) on the other hand are easy and convenient to store and transport. One pallet containing 600 jars each of 200 tablets is equivalent to 120,000 x 1 litre in use bleach solutions of 1,000 PPM active chlorine concentration.
Liquid chlorine is bulky, heavy and prone to leakage and spillage. Chlorine tablets are compact, economical and safe to ship and can even be sent by airfreight.
It gives it a good shock especially if algae has started to grow. It's not unusual for people to do this to chlorine pools, can't do it to salt pools.
Pool supply places have liquid chlorine. It's very common to use it.
