clorox performance bleach

[gagan]

I just realized I am using Clorox Performance Beach (bought at costco) instead of Regular beach.

I think it's the same think, but unable to confirm. Can some please advise?

I believe the only difference is the percentage of sodium hypochlorite, 8.25 vs 8.30. I've used this before and didn't have any issues. I've since switched to the Walmart brand as it's cheaper than Clorox.

Hopefully, others will chime in to verify.

There's some info in this thread from another forum about this. It appears the only difference is as Toy describes.

Thanks Toybuilder and JimK.

On the same line, I was at walmart and saw this item in my local walmart: Pool Essentials Chlorinating Liquid.
It has 10% Sodium hypochlorite... So I assume stronger bleach. I haven't seen this mentioned before... Anyone thought on this?

I saw this for the first time in my local Walmart today. It was $2.50, which is a great price. I generally use Walmart bleach, which is 8.25% in a 121 oz bottle for $2.94. That works out to be $0.29 per oz of chlorine. That's quite a bit better than my pool store, which sells 12.5% in a 128 oz bottle for $6.25. That's $0.39 per oz.

Today, I noticed that Walmart had liquid chlorine for pools in the garden section, with their other pool chems. Per the label, it's 10.0% sodium hypochlorite in a 128 oz bottle for $2.50. That's just under $0.20 per oz of chlorine. Best price I've ever seen. I bought 6 gallons, but haven't tried it yet, so don't know the actual effectiveness. Just wondering if anyone else has used this stuff and would share their experience?

Wouldn't you know it, no local walmarts carry it and they don't ship it. That's what you get when you live in a small town.

I can also confirm finding Pool Essentials Chlorinating Liquid @10% Sodium hypochorite for $2.50/gallon at my local Walmart (Central PA area, Altoona). I don't even know what took me into the pool section, as I was only there for Great Value Bleach, but after finding it, I promptly took back all 6 gallons of GV Bleach @ 2.94/gallon and replaced with the 10% stuff.

This seems like the best deal I can find on chlorine. None of the local pool stores sells the liquid stuff so getting a reusable carboy is not an option. I wonder if this stuff is accurately labeled, wanted to test it to see if indeed it's 10% as advertised, but didn't get the time yet. I also wonder if this is something new they just decided to get, or the fact that their shelves were usually empty of bleach each summer made them wise up and start carrying what the customers want?

That new one at Walmart is labelled at 10% while the one at Costco (Clorex) is labelled 8.3%. Despite the labelling the Clorex is about 14% stronger than Walmart. I determined this by filling 2 buckets with 2 gall of water ea and adding the same number of drops of CL to each from Walmart and Costco. Using a Taylor droptest kit the free cl from the Clorex bucket was 3.5 ppm whereas the Walmart bucket came in at 3.
This brings the effective prices to $3.50 gall from Costco and $2.84 from Walmart after adjusting for the actual strength difference. I find Costco more convenient as there are 3 jugs to a box so it makes transport and storing easier.
