Cheap bleach for those in the midwest.

100ppm, How do you figure? If it's 15%, then you should have 30 drops - 15ppm.
Great deals on the bleach, thanks!

Ah yes, forgot to factor that only 15% of the 1ml would be chlorine.

Thanks for the bleach tip. I have a "sorry slip" for 50 gal of bleach to use over the next 90 days
What is LC? I tried to search but came up empty

[aylad]

LC means "liquid chlorine". In some states, pool stores sell liquid chlorine, which is actually sodium hypochlorite (bleach!) in 12% strength, instead of the 6% strength we get at WalMart. If it is available to you this way, it is actually cheaper in most cases to buy the liquid chlorine. Unfortunately, in Louisiana it's illegal to sell it.....

Ran the bucket test tonight and came in between 14% and 14.5%. (very lightest tinge of pink left at 28 drops)
So... Yay for cheap bleach!!

Thanks for the tip! I'm getting tired of the 6% bleach from Aldi's only being about half strength despite having an expiry date 5 months away. I'm heading to Menards today!

If they are out, or you want to buymore than they have, get a raincheck which they call a Sorry Slip.the raincheck lasts for 90 days and you can use part at a time if they do not have the full amount. My raincheck is for 50 gal.my store only carries 42 a a time. I'm hoping to spread thi price out over the next 90 days by buying 12 or so at a time.
