I used to do the calculations the long way.... That link has made things so much easier! Menard's usually has a huge sale on fresh 12.5% somewhere near Memorial Day. Watch for it! Ours is usually $1.99/G.

I have this link bookmarked as a handy reference when I am out shopping: http://poncatechsquad.com/Dan/Chlorine/

Cool!

Use the link for price per effective FC, not for where to shop. I find the link so handy to compare realtive strengths vs. cost when I am out shopping. Remember to look at those date codes too! I just bought 12.5% that is only 6 days old. Woot!

Could you remind us how to read the date code?

[FormerBromineUser]

Usually the date code is a 5 digit number like 16128. That would mean it was bottled on the 128th day of 2016. Here is a calendar link:

Thanks.

By the way, our Menard's is having a "buy one/get one free" on 12.5% for $3.99 so it's $2/gallon. Date code is 16120, so 8 days old. Check your local stores!

No Menard's near me, or even in Washington state I think. Too bad. I love living in this small rural town but when it comes to pool supplies, car parts, appliance parts, etc., you can't find it here. Thank God for Amazon!

Bet it's lovely where you live! My brother lives in Clear Lake and the area is gorgeous!!!

I won't say that Moses Lake is ugly, but its not like Clear Lake. We are in the Cascade rain shadow, very dry and desert-like, also very flat. Great pool weather, long dry hot summers.
