Chlorine Jug Transport Idea

[g3lo]

Hi,

I found a local place that refills 20L jug of chlorine. However, using it around the pool is not practical. Has anyone came up with a method for ease of use with such a large container?

how big is the opening of the 20L jug? could you use something like one of these

Amazon.com: Plumber Hose Extender to Sink Hose -More Gl. Per Minute W/Larger Hose: Automotive
Amazon.com: Sierra Tools Battery-Operated Liquid Transfer Pump, Model# JB5684: Home Improvement

I like the second option, but it says do not use with non corrosive liquids. Have you ever used it or know someone that had success using it with LC?

Maybe one of these:
DEF Hand Pump for 5 Gallon Drum/Pail - NX2025


They seem to have various adapters to fit differing containers also - look further down on that page.
Also a Google search for - liquid chlorine transfer pump - may elicit more options.

Thank you!

I use 5 gallon jugs to store my chlorine and I use one of these.

Hand Siphon

Amazon has them as well - Pump

I just pump out whatever I need into a 1 qt measuring cup and then pour it into my bucket or right into my pool. Just take the siphon to your pool with you and pump some water through it to rinse it out. Works well for under $5

I have no idea how one of THESE will stand up to chlorine but might be worth an investigation if you decide to try one let us know how it works out.

Edit... Never mind I see it has stainless steel inside it, I think the chlorine would corrode that in short order.
