..the people in the dog park are worried about bacteria in the small

dog pools..can they use this method in the little kiddie pools? Can you give

amounts please.

You can use this method. Different brands vary in percentages. Pour

a measured amount of chlorine bleach in a cup. Dilute with

water. Add hydrogen peroxide bleach to the cup until the chlorine

smell is gone. Now you know the ratio. Try to buy products

that say " Free " on the label. These are hypoallergenic. They don't

contain the unnecessary springtime (or whatever) scents and other

noxious amendments.

Keep the dogs and kids away while you sanitize their pools.

Hello .I am not chemistry literate.So what you are saying is

you can use the regular chlorine ,household bleach,and the H2O2 will

render all harmful,toxic chemicals in the bleach neutral or non harmful?

I said that hydrogen peroxide will render sodium hypochlorite

harmless. Avoid buying bleach with other additives. Dilute H2O2 is

unlikely to react with them to your advantage.

Since when is Chlorine Bleach safe at all? My understanding is that bleach is a

big NO NO.....even most dr.s' won't use it or have it in their homes. What am I

missing?

It is easy enough to pour household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) into

your hot tub or pool to sterilize it, then pour in hydrogen peroxide

to reduce it to saline and oxygen. It is absolutely safe.

You can buy both regular chlorine bleach and hydrogen peroxide bleach

at the supermarket. Buy both. Use an excess of the peroxide a few hours or a

day after sterilizing with hypochlorite.

NaOCl + H2O2 -- & gt; O2 + NaCl + H2O

There is no need to do the stoichiometry. You can titrate it with

This is how I do it at the retreat center.

I heard from a friend, who was given a protocol from a healer for

candida. She was to take a daily bath and to use bleach but only

Clorox brand since it was pure bleach so it may be best to use just

Clorox. I can only take her word for it. I do not know the quantity

she used in the bath.

It all depends on how the pool is chlorinated. Although household

bleach is safe, still you don't want to go crazy with it. Hydrogen

peroxide is also a useful hot tub additive, but I have a friend who

has a drum of 50% H2O2 that feeds directly into his hot tub -- which

just might be overly bold. He also balanced the salt content to

match that in Harben Hot Springs. He claims that he constantly has

to get out to urinate as the formulation is so hydrating. The water

is constantly pristine pure. I want to watch him for another year

before I consider adding such a tub at our facility.

Just don't have them do that thing with the sulfuric acid and the lye, .
