clorox performance bleach

Interestingly, I posted earlier in this thread my local Walmart didn't carry the Pool Essentials stuff, but my wife decided to check this week and there it is, newly stocked! I haven't checked to see the date stamp on it yet.

I just looked at the date code on my bottle last night. 16 118, or April 28th normally, April 27th this year because of Leap year! So my stuff is roughly a month old.

I don't think it matters much in my case and so far seems to be working just fine with my test numbers showing results. I need to find time to test the potency and see if its running true to 10%. Either way I doubt it would be significantly lower than 10%, or lower than the Great Value 8.25% Bleach I'd been buying for $2.94/gal which still leaves me in the good since it's only $2.50/gal.

A month is fine. They usually start over % so you're likely close to stated strength.

I checked last night and the time stamp was 16 124. Love this forum, wouldn't have found that if someone didn't bring it up here. At 2.50 a gallon for 10% strength, that's the cheapest I can by chlorine locally.
