importers, wholesalers, distributors and pool cleaning companies should all have stocks, and as far as I understand the situation, they should still be working...

Another thought - if he can't locate any 'pool' chlorine, he could use normal domestic bleach - sodium hypochlorite.

The aim will be to achieve between 1 > 3 parts per million of chlorine, so he would need to check the concentration on the bottles, and do the arithmetic, with a final adjustment checked by a pool test kit.

Obviously, the domestic bleach will not contain any stabilizer, but there should already be enough in the pool as it does not degrade. (:Z)(

It's my understanding that pool companies can get permission to sell chlorine, attend owners pools treat with chlorine or drain the pools. Worth ringing around a few pool companies! Stay safe people!

Is this calculation correct?
My bleach is 20% hypochlorous acid. By weight chlorine is 68% of HOCL.
1 litre of bleach would give 135 tonnes of water a chlorine dose of 1/1000,000 approx-ish.
Work out what you need from there.
