    Cool Cheap Cl? Check with your local pool store.

    I'm now buying my Cl from a neighborhood pool store. 2.5 and 5 gal. jugs of 12.5% @ $2.00/gal. They're asking for a $6.00 deposit on each bottle and I just bring 'em back for refills. New skids of Cl brought in each week so it's pretty fresh.

    I'm also looking at 36 empty Chlorox bottles on a rope out in my shed wondering 'what was I thinking?'.

    ; )

    Anybody need some boat buoys?

    C.

    Edit: Oops, meant to say 10.5%

    I've looked into liquid chlorine from local pool stores...unfortunately I've called EVERY pool store in a 30 mile radius, and NONE of them carry liquid chlorine.

    I bought some 10.5% chlorine today at the local "L" pool supply store. $3.95 after tax for 2.5 gallons. Comes out to $1.58 a gal. not a bad price, and saves me time from driving all around trying to find cheap chlorine at the other stores: Dollar General, grocery, hardware, etc.

    I checked that L palce online and I didn't see any liquid.
    My closest pool store has 4 big (or whatever size oz.)gallons for 14$ or so 12%..still like to find cheaper.
    Does the L store [or maybe it's just a brand name]
    'Chlor- Brite' good or does it have CYA too.It says it's PH nuetral and can that go in a inline feeder?????.I would use it just to keep a little chlorine going in feeder but quit buying the borax,so it be worth it if it cost a little more.

    My local Shaws has 1 dollar each for clorox 96 oz fri, sat, and sunday. That sounds pretty good (limit 10)

    Talking Re: Cheap Cl? Check with your local pool store.

    Yes,that helps. I am always looking for something easier than plastic jugs. Why can't the chemical companies make plain granular chlorine with no additives? I saw an ad for a british company that had tablets that you dissolved and made just pure chlorine.Are you listening pool chemical companies!????
