Where to find 12% bleach

[gumbeaux71]

Hi all,
Where does one find 5-gallon carboys of 12% bleach? Do you order this online, get it from a pool store (argh!), or from a warehouse/discount store like Costco?
Is there a significant cost-savings to buying it this way?

Also, where/how do you store it? The only place I could put it is in the garage along with other chems, etc.

Thanks!
Erica

Kurt (and PoolDoc),
Thanks for the informative post. My initial motivation for wanting to know about the 5-gallon carboys had more to do with convenience (I hate running to the grocery store/Target, etc for bleach) than cost. However, I thought that increased savings would be great, but I see that there isn't much savings to be had. In addition, I was a little worried about storage of such a large amount of (maybe) stronger bleach and it appears I had every right to be!

While reading PoolDoc's post I finally realized that I should take advantage of my grocery delivery service and use it for ordering my bleach. :rolleyes: Why didn't I think of that sooner??
