Bleach is chlorin?

Bleach is a chemical that whitens clothing.


Clorox brand bleach
The bleaching process has been known for millennia,[1] but the chemicals currently used for bleaching resulted from the work of several 18th century scientists. Chlorine is the basis for the most common bleaches: for example, the solution of sodium hypochlorite, which is so ubiquitous that most simply call it "bleach", and calcium hypochlorite, the active compound in "bleaching powder". Oxidizing bleaching agents that do not contain chlorine are usually based on peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate. While most bleaches are oxidizing agents, some are reducing agents such as sodium dithionite and sodium borohydride.

Bleaches are used as household chemicals to whiten clothes and remove stains and as disinfectants, primarily in the bathroom and kitchen. Many bleaches have strong bactericidalproperties, and are used for disinfecting and sterilizing and thus are used in swimming pool sanitation to control bacteria, viruses and algae and in any institution where sterile conditions are needed. They are also used in many industrial processes, notably in the bleaching of wood pulp. Bleach is also used for removing mildew, killing weeds and increasing the longevity of cut flowers.[2]

I will pour some in the system, let the system go for awhile, scrubb then fresh water and some more scrubbing then fill it upp.... but to root the small girls i dont need to use the big buckets. I will DIY a small bucket for the first 5-7 days.

Yea better off that's how I root my clones. Do yourself a favor and insulate your buckets man. Way easier to control your heat and light from entering your buckets

Temps are down to 20,5°C.. i will just cover the tops and i think temps will lower some more. I will need something so the light cant get down by the clay-pebbles.

I poured 1 liter of bleach i the system, let it run, and i scrubbed it. Then i refilled and scrubbed, and 1 more time... the bacterias should be dead. I saw you write you were using a filter to collect dirt?

 

[SeaTurtlesAreGreat2]

Yes my pump has a filter built into it . I clean it every day,I forgot once and let it go two days it was awful. That is why my water is lasting alot longer I believe the pump filter. The blue stuff is plastic from me putting a new bucket in my system
