What is sodium hypochlorite solution for pools?

Sodium hypochlorite solution is liquid chlorine used to kill bacteria and algae in swimming pools. For pools it is typically supplied at a stronger concentration than household bleach.

What are the advantages of using liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite)?

It is fast-acting and is easy to dose by adding to the pool while the pump is running. It does not add calcium or cyanuric acid, which can be beneficial for water balance management.

How do I add sodium hypochlorite to my pool?

Carefully pour liquid chlorine into the pool while circulation is running to distribute it evenly. Avoid splashing on surfaces, skin or clothing, and follow recommended dosing guidance.

What is the difference between liquid chlorine and granular chlorine?

Liquid chlorine is sodium hypochlorite and is typically unstabilized and fast-acting. Granular chlorine can be different chemistries (e.g., calcium hypochlorite, dichlor, trichlor) with different effects on water balance.

Does sodium hypochlorite expire or lose strength?

Yes. Liquid chlorine can lose potency over time, especially when exposed to heat or sunlight. Store in a cool, dark place and use fresh supplies for best results.

Will sodium hypochlorite affect my pool's pH?

Liquid chlorine is alkaline and can raise pool pH, so routine testing and pH adjustment may be required to keep water balanced.

Is sodium hypochlorite safe for pools with salt systems?

Yes. It can be used as a sanitizer or backup/shock option in pools with salt chlorine generators, as it does not add calcium or cyanuric acid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sodium hypochlorite solution is liquid chlorine. It is the same chemical as household bleach, but for pools, it is typically a much stronger concentration (usually 10-12.5% available chlorine). It is an unstabilized, fast-acting sanitizer used to kill bacteria and algae in swimming pools.

Its main advantages are that it is fast-acting, adds no calcium (unlike Cal-Hypo) or cyanuric acid (unlike Trichlor), and is easy to use by simply pouring it into the pool. It's often a more economical choice for larger pools.

Carefully pour the liquid chlorine into the deep end of the pool while the pump is running to help circulate it. Avoid splashing it on the pool liner or your skin/clothes. It's best to add it in the evening to prevent rapid dissipation by the sun.

Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) is unstabilized, fast-acting, and raises pH slightly. Granular chlorine comes in different types: Calcium Hypochlorite (Cal-Hypo) is also fast-acting but adds calcium and is unstabilized; Dichlor and Trichlor are stabilized (contain CYA) and dissolve more slowly.

Yes, liquid chlorine is not as stable as dry forms. It loses potency over time, especially if exposed to heat or sunlight. It's best to purchase fresh supplies and store them in a cool, dark place. Its strength can degrade significantly within a few months.

Yes, liquid chlorine has a high pH (around 13), so adding it will raise the pH of your pool water. You will need to regularly test and use a pH decreaser (muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate) to keep your pH in the ideal range.

Yes, it is perfectly safe. In fact, many pool owners with salt chlorine generators use liquid chlorine as a backup for shocking or when the salt system is not keeping up with demand, as it doesn't introduce any unwanted by-products like calcium or CYA.
