Could a Haiyou help analyze the issue with sodium chlorate next time? Thank you

In industry, sodium hypochlorite is used to keep the pH at around neutral. I would like to ask whether sodium hypochlorite inside the tower decomposes into sodium hydroxide? I’ve looked up information on the reactions involving sodium hypochlorite many times; it is said to be a reversible reaction that produces sodium hydroxide and hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid decomposes when exposed to light, but it doesn’t decompose inside the tower, so why does the pH level inside the tower rise unexpectedly? ? ? ?
An increase in pH value necessarily indicates decomposition has occurred
