I've been using Pool Essentials 10% liquid chlorine from Lowes for the post-soak treatment of my spa but just found out that they are no longer selling it. Can't find anything comparable anywhere locally. There are some online sources that require bulk purchases at outrageous prices. Soooo, I'm thinking I should go with household bleach until the supply situation improves. Any concerns with using this 7.5% (7.1% available) sodium hypochlorite Clorox product? It doesn't say what's included in the 92.5% "Other Ingredients" but none of the other household bleach brands I see break out the "other" category either.

That should be fine to use.

Other ingredients is water.
 
If you see this on the label don’t use it

The great value plain bleach is unadulterated as is the green bottle of plain chloralen (not splashless)

Nope,

It has Chloromax in it, as per the product description on that page.

I bought this one, and when I received it (curbside pick-up) it had the fabric protection logo on it.

Try the chloralen in the teal green bottle if they have it- its cheaper anyway.
I use the chloralen in my hot tub with no problems
