    Shelf life of liquid chlorine

    Anticipating the end of the season here in the northeast I have a five gallon excess of liquid chlorine (12.5%). Can I store this for any length of time or will it loose its oxidation qualities? Thanks, Max

    Converted in spite of my local pool store

    I thought I would close out this thread with some final comments. My Bq to Cl conversion took just a few days and wasn't all that bad (scary at first though.) When it was completed my pool water was crystal clear and has remained that way through today, half way through August. All I did...

    Converted in spite of my local pool store

    You got to love these pool stores. At the first store I was ‘confidently’ told I would need to empty my 30K IG pool to convert from Bq to Cl . I told the sales person (in so many words) that was untrue and left. The second store told me I needed to go with a non-chlorine shock prior to...
