Can I put household bleach in my pool?

A jug of bleach, like Clorox, is mostly water. Bleach contains about 5% to 6% sodium hypochlorite, which means roughly 95% of your jug of bleach won’t do anything useful to clean your pool. Some bleach formulations may include colorings and fragrances, which can negatively affect the quality of your pool water.

How Long Does it Take For a Cloudy Pool to Clear? Depending on how cloudy your water is, it may take 2-3 days for your water to clear. Just make sure you run your filter 24/7, keep your water chemistry balanced, and add the proper amount of water clarifier every other day until it’s clear.
