Bleach, made from sodium hypochlorite, is a source of chlorine that can be used to disinfect water. However, it is much more diluted than chlorine products specifically designed for swimming pools. If necessary, bleach can indeed be used to chlorinate a swimming pool. However, its use requires particular care to avoid over- or under-dosing, which can compromise the chemical balance of the water.

For optimum pool maintenance, it's best to opt for specialized products, such as those offered by iopool. These products are designed to provide a precise and effective solution, and their use is perfectly matched to our application, which helps you to adjust dosages exactly. In this way, you avoid approximations and guarantee clear, healthy, balanced water.
