Popularly known as "liquid chlorine" or bleach, in its diluted form, sodium hypochlorite is one of the most used products to perform water treatment in both commercial and residential pools. Effectively destroys bacteria and prevents the appearance of algae in swimming pools.
While bleach manufactured for domestic cleaning has a concentration of only 1.5%, sodium hypochlorite for swimming pool treatment has a concentration of more than 10 times higher at the factory.
