I go to Norman. Will go tomorrow. I like the online brand. Seems potent. Great price too.Which one did you go to? I will hit up the Shawnee location this week and get (hopefully) 20 bottles or so.
Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine
- Thread starter JohnT
- Start date
Not much of a sale, but my local Menerads has their Splash (12.5%) on sale for 3.64 a gallon
Weis Market has 12.5% Shock, currently on sale from $3.49 to $2.62. Not sure how long the sale lasts, last year the same stuff was $2.24, so it went up a bit, but for the price, it's the best around.
Locations are in NEPA, and date code is 19079, so not old stock.

Home Depot by me (Upstate NY) doesn’t carry the HDX 10%).
Next time I’m in the store I’m going to see if they can order it for me. Anyone have any luck going this route?
If they can order it, it will certainly be the best price around here.

I'm almost certain they will order for you. Just make sure to order 4 or more so you get the discount of $1 off each case.

Hopefully it comes in fresh. I was at Lowe’s yesterday and the poor kid that worked there pulled down 10 boxes of chlorine, 9 of which had a date code from January.
There's a Weis Markets very close to where I live. If they have 12.5% at 2.62 a gallon I'll probably buy as much as I can (ideally 20 gallons) as that would likely last me most if not all of the swim season.
Marc's in the Columbus OH area has their 12% shock for $2.79 a gallon, date of 19/119 for the store I was at.
I have two Weis that I frequent, both had the same stuff at $2.62/gallon. I've used it now for 2 years, and it tests right at what PoolMath says, so I haven't found any decrease in potency. I initially bought 24 gallons, when I did, they had two full pallets. I just stopped at that Weis today and they're down to about half a pallet, so buy it quick. I made the mistake of not getting enough last year, and it seems once it's gone, it's gone.
Well Ocean State Job Lot has 12.5% for $2.99/gallon, but today when I went to stock up, they scanned the box of 4 gallons and charged me $2.99/box. 8 gallons of 12.5% for $6.38

Just make sure you don't buy it if its stored outside in the garden center, and check those production dates!
Heat/sun weaken chlorine so you don't wanna pay top dollar for water. Check the Julian dates.... it should read some thing like 2919 or 19 and then 093 (year and number in days of the year). I recently got some liquid chlorine at Walmart that was 8 days old since production. <score!>

Your little calendar came in handy. THANK YOU!!! Found some that were a little over two weeks old. The others were over two months.
I have this website book marked on my phone so I can instantly see the current Julian date when I'm at the store
What's the Current Day Number?
