How long is pool bleach stable when diluted with water in a Chloroxbottle anyway?
Q: Does dilution of bleach actually affect it's stability over time?
My wife buys these Chlorox variations, so I decided to ask Chlorox (800-292-2200 & 800-227-1860) what the percentage of sodium hypochlorite was in their two products pictured below: http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/12122385.jpg The answer came back as follows: a. 10% NaClO (pool bleach) b. 2.4% NaClO (Chlorox Ultimate Care Bleach, UPC 44600-01692) c. 2.4% NaClO (Chlorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner with Bleach, UPC 44600-00938) When I mentioned my goal of using pool bleach, diluted to those concentrations with tap water, they forewarned that diluting bleach lowers its stability and effectiveness. Huh? Specifically, they said that if I diluted 10% pool bleach, the resulting solution would only be effective as a disinfectant for 24 hours. Q: Is that true? Reading the labels, they list "inert ingredients", but I have to assume that the "inert ingredient" is plain water. Isn't it? |
