Hello,

Was hoping this esteemed forum could chime in on this. Kinda a math problem.

Around here, you get 3 quarts of 5.25% bleach for $1.30. Liquid chlorine (10% sodium hypo) is two gallons for $6. If I'm doing my math right, the bleach is 1.3 cents per oz [$1.30/3/32 ounces in a quart]. BUT you have to make the strength equal by multiplying by [10/5.25]. We then arrive at 2.6 cents per ounce for "10% bleach".

For the 10% LC, it comes to 2.3 cents per ounce. [$6/2/128 ounces per gallon].

So, LC is slightly cheaper for me. And I have fewer bottles to throw away.

Am I getting tangled up over nothing?

Cheers from the underchlorinated Sierra Foothills,
Paul
