All good. As long as it helps folks keep their pools sanitized without ulterior motives, it's a good thing. It may indeed be higher than labeled or it could also be that your pool volume is slightly overestimated.

Thx Joel.
You are the second mod who mentioned my pool volume may be overestimated.
You may be correct but when I had it filled, it took 8 trucks at 5K each with the hose on to fill.
Its a 50x25 free form pool with 10+' deep end and a 3-4' shallow end.
But it would be much better for my sake to have it closer to the real ballpark volume than thinking it is larger and throw the poolmath calculations off.

mine was off by 10% after I manually calculated...and mines a simple 30' ABG round
The best way to determine pool volume accurately if you're interested is chemically. See this thread here: A Chemical Way of Calculating Pool Volume
It's not critical to be super accurate, but being within 1-2K gallons in your size pool is nice to know.

Nope. If someone has bought it at a Walmart in the Midwest or southeast, snap me a picture of your UPC, maybe we can try and get it.
Also, just to correct myself. 10% chlorine was 4.72 here at Home Depot, and was 3.76 at Lowes. That's all I've ever seen-because I only went to one pool store ....and they didn't even sell it.[emoji2]
Right now i am using chlorine from atwoods, but my store in okc area and many other walmat stores just started carrying it this year in the pool section.

Good to know- there's an Atwoods here, never been. But seriously if anyone can take a shot at what your seeing at Walmart, I'd like to see if we can get it.
I'm also a little interested in maybe if there is a pool store that has it after all. Like the post above of a store in Maryland- I wonder if anyone has it in bulk volume like that.

We don't have chains that do it like that in our region that I know of. Atwoods had a very good sale last week, a 4 gallon case for $6.99. Not sure of price now, but I bet it is $10 or less.

Ah, that won't pay off to visit then. Mine is a long distance from me too but I have family there so I drop in for bleach when I visit.
