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 my local 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?
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?
