Your pool test kit will reveal that even a couple of gallons of bleach is not as strong as a standard pool chlorine (12.5% sodium hypochlorite), so you may need to use more to achieve a clean pool.

For a comprehensive and easy-to-use pool test kit, we recommend the AquaChek 100 Count Pool Water Test Strips. Unlike many pool kits, the AquaChek tests for water hardness.
