To say the least. I just checked my local walmart inventory via their own website as well as that 3rd party site. Both show the liquid chlorine as out of stock, though I know for a fact one of them has it in 3 different places in their store. I'm having a harder and harder time finding anything but the 071 date code stuff though.
Went into Rural King today ~ first visit.
Pallets of liquid chlorine ~ 4 gallons to a case $7.99
Not one employee knew the strength, came home looked online & it appears to be 10%
Date codes were funky on the ones I could see so have no idea how old they are.
But if they were fresh and you have a Rural King close by might be priced decently enough to make a trip and pick some up.

Fair warning, not all Rural King's are the same. My local Rural King carries 12.5% "liquid shock" in cases on sale till Sunday for $9.99. The date codes were 16 111 or so, which isn't too bad I guess. I've been buying the 10% from walmart though, and I'd have to readjust my stenner pump timer if I changed strength.
Everyone in town was bragging it up ~ and the place was a dump.
10 Dollars a piece for tomato cages
But they did have all those pallets of LC so I thought I would share.
The store is new to our area, I am going to give them time to get that rats nest cleaned up ~ but I have a feeling our is destined to be a dump.

My wife and I just moved from the city to the burbs and Rural King is one of the things i was looking forward to about our more "rural" life. Yeah, it's a dump, but they have better quality stuff than the box stores usually, and often good prices. For example, my rural king has muriatic acid for 3.99 a gallon, which is the cheapest I can find it anywhere around me. And if you need anything that is farm related, you'll find it there, not Home Depot.
So while yes, the store is somewhat of a dump, the positives outweigh the downsides for me.
2.50 for 10% sodium hypochlorite pool shock at Atwoods in Broken Arrow OK.
1.19 for Gallon of bleach - didnt see the strength - nevermind, it's 3%

Is there a way of testing their chlorine to know what the actual % is?
Anyone know where to buy in the San Francisco East Bay? We don't have a walmart in Oakland anymore
Just used a groupon for Google Express to get 14 gallons delivered for $6 (sf east bay) lol!!!
There are extreme dilutions you can do to be able to use the FAS-DPD test, but honestly the easiest way is to see how close it gets you to the poolmath predicted result.

Anyone in central NJ finding any 12.5%? Can't seem to find liquid chlorine except at one place 30 minutes away which probably doesn't have anymore now. Running low.
Here in Maryland, I'm paying $14 for 4 1 Gallon jugs of Austin's Pool Shock at the local BJ's. 12.5% solution. $3.50 a gallon.
AZ Safeways are supposed to have chemtex liquid shock 2 gallons in a box for $5, limit 4 boxes. my store doesn't usually carry liquid so they ordered it for me. expires tomorrow, I think.
going salt but figured I may need some anyway and it is cheaper than bleach at that price so use it for laundry and toilet cleaning, LOL

Ollie's typically has 12.5% LC for $2.99/Gal. Cheaper if you get their coupons in the mail.
