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.
