This product is a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution, containing approximately 5% available chlorine by weight. The purity of its ingredients and
the carefully supervised process of its manufacture make this product a very stable, uniform source of chlorine for water treatment in swimming and
wading pools. This product is especially suitable for use in chlorinators as it is a liquid and has no Insoluble particles. This product Is widely used as
a source of chlorine for swimming pool sanitation and does not have any adverse effects on materials used in pool construction including swimming
pool liners.
For each new filling of your pool, use following initial dosages of this product.
To determine the volume of water in the pool when filled, figure 71/2 gal [Ions] of water for each cubic foot -or- ft^ of pool capacity. One quart of this
product per 6,000 gal [Ions] of water will supply approximately 2 ppm (parts per million) available chlorine, but this may dissipate rather rapidly in
new water depending on the general sanitation conditions of the pool. Repeat dosage as needed to obtain 0.6 to 1.0 ppm available chlorine.
In chlorinating a swimming pool, mix the required amount of this product with 10 parts water and feed this solution through a chlorinator into the
main water supply line to the pool. The feeding rate should be adjusted so the required quantity of this product will be added uniformly throughout
the filling of the pool; or, if the water is circulated through a filter, the bleach should be added throughout one complete circulation. If this product
cannot be fed into the main water supply line, mix 1/2 pint of this product with 5 gal[lons] of water and scatter over a portion of the pool surface;
repeat until the required amount of this product has been scattered over entire surface of the pool.
Check chlorine level in pool water at least dally with a pool testing set and add this product as needed to maintain 0.6 to 1.0 ppm available chlorine.
One pint of this product per 6,000 gal [Ions] of water will supply approximately 1.0 ppm available chlorine. Frequency of application of this dosage
will vary depending on number of people using the pool, weather conditions (sunlight exposure), and general cleanliness of the pool area. Chlorine
level tor acid-stabilized pools should be maintained at 1.0 -1.5 ppm available chlorine.
The effectiveness of the chlorine is best when the pool water has a pH range of 7.2 to 7.6. The pH of the pool water should be checked daily using
a pool pH testing set and adjusted as necessary.
5813-1, Page 22 of 36
The regular use of this product, in the above proportions, in the swimming pool usually prevents the growth of algae in the water; however, if algae
growth is causing the pool water to look cloudy and uninviting, it may be corrected by doubling the initial dosage of this product for a few treatments
(2 quarts instead of 1 quart per 6,000 gal[lons] of new water). This additional solution should be added to the pool in the evening after the pool is
out of use so the excess chlorine will be dissipated before the pool is used again.
If algae are growing on the bottom or walls of the pool, scrub pool with a solution of 1/2 gal[lon] of this product to 5 gal [Ions] of water applying
solution with a fiber brush. The pool should be scrubbed while full and rinsed off when algae growth has been removed; all of the growth and dirty
solution should be flushed from the pool with clear water before the pool is refilled. Avoid skin contact with undiluted product; if such contact occurs,
rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 min[utes]. When added as recommended, this product has no deleterious effect on the eyes, nasal
passages, or skin of people using the pool and will have no effect on swimming apparel.
Re-entry into treated pools is prohibited above levels of 4 ppm due to risk of bodily harm.
In chlorinating wading pools, use 1/8 cup per 100 gallons] of new water. Mix required amount of this product with 2 gal[lons] of water and scat
ter over surface of pool. Mix uniformly with pool water.
Between fillings of pool, add 1 Tablespoon -or- Tbsp of this product per 100 gal [Ions] of water each day. Empty small pools daily. (This product
will not harm plastic pools.) Re-entry into treated pools is prohibited above levels of 4 ppm due to risk of bodily harm.
The chart below is a guide to the amount of this product required to provide approximately 1/8 cup per 100 gallons] of water figured on basis of
water depths in pools of various diameters.

CLOROX® Bleach (EPA Reg. No. 5813-1) AS A FUNGICIDE FOR SEED POTATOES
This product is fungicidal to the Verticillium wilt organism V. albo-atrum (microsclerotial type) on seed potatoes. A solution of this product is applied
to whole seed and freshly cut seed potato pieces during the cutting operation for planting. [Research at the Washington State University Irrigated
Agriculture Research and Extension Center^ has shown that treatment with a sodium hypochlorite solution helps to prevent the spread of organisms
to uninfected soil or fields via seed potato surfaces.]
Use Instructions
Thoroughly mix a solution for spraying, in the proportion of one-or-1 part of this product (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) to 9 parts of water. Use this
solution to spray freshly cut seed potato pieces from the top and bottom of the cutting chain or elevator with a series of non-mist nozzles at 3 to 5
psi. Thoroughly cover all cut and uncut surfaces with the solution. The treatment will be most effective on clean seed tubers, as the organic matter
in soil will reduce the effectiveness of the sodium hypochlorite.
5813-1, Page 27 of 36
Plant within four hours of the cutting and this product treatment operation. If planting should be delayed, store the treated seed in clean, open,
well-ventilated bins or truck beds. Storing cut, wet seed in large, unventilated containers will contribute to secondary breakdown from soft rot
organisms.
Safety Precautions
Do not mix full-strength product or treatment solution with any agricultural chemical, ammonia, or acid. Avoid prolonged contact of this product
with skin. If full strength or diluted product is splashed in the eyes, hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 min[utes]. Re
move contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 min(utes], then continue rinsing eye.
Conduct the spraying operations either outside, in a well-ventiiated buiiding, or under a hooded exhaust system. Use non-misting nozzies to avoid
breathing of mist. Wear a face mask and piastic or rubber gloves and clothing. Because sodium hypochlorite is corrosive to many metals, chains
and other machine parts should be either plastic or plastic-coated and rinsed with clear water after use.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE TREATED SEED FOR FOOD OR FEED. Use the product treatment only on crops and for the purposes recommended.
Apply only as specified above. Do not apply in a dipping operation or this product solution may become contaminated with soil and organic matter
from the potato surfaces and lose its effectiveness.

Bleach Dispensing System Adjustments
The following steps must be followed before using the new chemical sanitizing dishwashing machine, and on a regular basis thereafter:
a. Start machine and let run until the machine has begun the final rinse cycle.
b. Take a sample of the rinse water.
c. Using a special test kit, determine the parts per million (ppm) of available chlorine in the sample.
d. If the ppm of available chlorine is lower than the minimum or higher than the maximum level of available chlorine permitted by local public
health authorities, adjust the bleach dispensing system.
e. Repeat steps “a” through “c” until a correct ppm of available chlorine is achieved.
Your equipment service representative or dishwashing detergent supplier will often make these adjustments for you.
Local public health codes vary with regard to the parts per million of available chlorine permitted in the final rinse water of chemical sanitizing
dishwashing machines. The minimum level is 50 ppm of available chlorine with a maximum level of 200 ppm, although some states require
100 ppm minimum level. Check with your local public health department on the applicable regulations for your area.
