I buy 6% gallons for $1.77 but see everyone buying higher percentages. Is it for convenience of higher concentration or am I missing something?

Walmart
What brand was the 6% for $1.77? Do you have the Walmart DCPI number?
The higher concentration means less bleach needed to add to maintain FC levels. See the Pool math chart. If you had, for instance 12% concentration, your bleach added would be 1/2 the amount needed to maintain FC levels. So if the price of that 12% bleach was double the 6% price, it is costing you the same because you are adding 1/2 the amount. Did that make sense?
It was the walmart brand. Sorry I do not have that available but next time I go I can find that information for you.
I understand that part. I just thought I was overlooking something because everyone was buying the higher percentage bleach but I think I just stumbled upon a decently priced bleach at 6%.
Agreed. Will have to see if I can find that 6%. Should degrade slower too.If the Walmart bleach is 128oz 6% for $1.77, that's 0.23/oz, which is a great deal. The 128oz 10% is now 3.64, which is 0.284/oz.
The local Fry's (aka Kroger elsewhere) has Kemtek 10% LC @ 2 gallons for $4.99 right now. Date code here was 16147. Not the newest, but it's stored indoors at room temperature.
Menards has a sale on their 12.5% for $2.50 a gallon.
Sorry I don't have their flyer. It is advertised under my city's zip code:Is the Menard's price advertised in their current flyer? My Menard's still lists it as $3.99/bottle
