Does your SH smell like caustic?

I always thought my SH would have kind of a funky smell from time to time, rather than a typical bleach smell. I recently realized it smells exactly like caustic. Harder to cover the smell with Lemon Aide or Elemonator, and seems like it doesn't work quite as well as when it just smells like a swimming pool, but maybe that's just me. Anyone else notice this?
 
Mine does not smell like that, never has.
 
Weird. Do you think some places put sodium hydroxide in the bleach to try to preserve them longer or something? I've heard that's what Chlorox does for their "outdoor bleach".

You need to quit sniffing the bleach and get back to work, that is a bad habit. j/k hahahahaha
 
Is Sodium hydroxide not used in the manufacturing of sodium hypochlorite? I think it is. A small amount of soda beads added to sod hypo amps up the cleaning power working synergistically to clean and sanitize better.
 
On the msds on a few brands of SH I purchase, Sodium Hydroxide is on the label so some companies do add it, either in the production or after.
