How / Where Do I buy Liquid Chlorine?

[Spensar]

Check out a farmer co-ops and industrial cleaning supply companies.

I'm lucky to get 12.5% in a refillable carboy from a cleaning supply company who also supplies a lot of the municipal pools with chlorine. It's easy since you drive right up and they put the filled carboy into your vehicle for you. Hmm, funny that this chlorine will all that "inert water" is good enough for public pools.....

There are many different SWG out there at a wide range of prices. Do a search on this site and you will come up with a lot of different posts on what others have, how much they paid, etc. You can get systems for IG pools starting around $470ish - all the way up to several thousands of dollars. These include on the low end of the price scale the IG Chlorease CLO3, going up to the Aquatrols, Pentairs, Zodiaks, and the Pool Pilots with all the bells and whistles. Many brands and many different types out there with lots of satisfied customers.

Thanks to all who responded to my post. There's some very good leads here and I know I'll be able to get what I need because of you.

I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that when all costs are factored in that salt water chlorine generators are more economical. Especially when gas is over $3/gallon.

Not counting startup and closing... I figure I go through about 100 jugs of 96oz 6% bleach or about $130/year + transportation. If a chlorine generator cell lasts 4 years I think I'm just about even. Anything beyond that I save $$$.

Plus I'm too lazy even to open a jug of bleach and pour it into the skimmer once per day or two.

Good perspective. My cost from Sam's works out to be about $2.62 / jug, so if I use 100 jugs the chlorinator solution looks better and better. -Jim
