  • Pool Chlorine: Chemical Formulas & Types (Sodium Hypochlorite, Calcium Hypochlorite, & More)
    Pool chlorine is not a single chemical compound but rather a generic term for chlorine-based chemicals used to disinfect swimming pools. The most common forms are:

    * Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO): This is the most common form of pool chlorine, usually found in liquid bleach.

    * Calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2): This is a granular or tablet form of chlorine that is often used in pool chlorinators.

    * Trichloroisocyanuric acid (C3Cl3N3O3): This is a stabilized form of chlorine that is often used in slow-dissolving tablets.

    So, there's no single "chemical formula for pool chlorine", but the three listed above are the most common and active ingredients.
