Wow.
I wonder what the price of bulk bleach is now? The last time I bought a tanker load of 15% (fresh, so about 17%) bleach, I paid about $0.87/gallon for 4,000 gallons. It's been about 15 years, though.
Oh, by the way Richard, Powell Fab has recently come out with a process for 30% bleach:

Re: Where do you buy bleach????
Cool. Though in practice one still buys 15% or less concentration, but it's nice to know it lasts about twice as long and also will build up salt in the pool more slowly.

In Chicago land, American Sale has 12.5% for $2.49/gal.
Re: Where do you buy bleach????
That would be cheap if it really is 12.5%, though often the higher percentage bleach is not as high as advertised.
Re: Where do you buy bleach????
I don't know if it's a midwest thing or not, but a store in Madison, WI that I use sells 12.5% sodium hypochlorite for $12.49 for 5 gallons ($2.50/gallon.) It's a heck of a drive, so I have to tack on the cost of a tank of gas for the round trip though.Originally Posted by Shredhead

Re: Where do you buy bleach????
That is just killing me. All I get is wm at 3.15 gallon at 8.25 and I'm not sure what the pure chlorine from that is prob. 7.50 maybe. Saw Home Depot 2.99 gallon BUT not sure how fast the turnover
13000 gallon fiberglass, variable speed pump, cartridge filter, chlorine sanitized ,k-2006, also daily 5 item check ( ch, ph,ta,)
I only trust the k-2006 titration is better for me
