Re: Liquid Chlorine?
Just bought 6 of these, and a 24lb box of D.E. for $1.00/lb
I actuallly just bought 4 1 gallons of 12.5% for 13.99 total from Bj's. I am happy now

For reference, I just sent this to another pool owner here in Northern NJ:
I just went to Home Depot and saw the Clorox concentrate (8.75%?) at $4.27 for what looked to be a gallon. Sadly the bottle holds 3.78 quarts....you don't even get a gallon. No thanks.
So far I'm finding Pelican Pool @ $11 for a 2.5 gallon (12.5%) carboy, with a one time deposit. This is the closest vendor I could identify so far. A bit farther for me is Town & Country Pool in Phillipsburg. They sell a 5 gallon carboy for $18 plus $7 deposit. Wish they were closer as this is the size container I prefer.
Other vendors wont sell retail. I going to see what the deal is through a friend who can use his business to accommodate.
So, once the deposit is made for the carboy container the best price I found is $3.60 per gallon @ 12.75%.
Last year I purchased Walmart brand 8.75% unscented bleach for $3.75 per gallon. It goes on sale periodically as well.

I get mine from a chemical warehouse...12.5% bleach @ 80cents a litre so that's about $3.20 a gallon.... I find its cheaper than buying from larger retailers for some stupid reason....

Ocean State Job Lot has 12.5% Liquid chlorine for $2.99 a gallon. $0.187 per oz of chlorine
Just looked at what looks to be a "gallon" bleach container from Walmart. Same as Home Depot with only 3.78 quarts of product.
I wonder how many brands are doing this. It definitely adds to the cost.

The 10% chlorine for home depot is in gallon jugs. It is just the 8.25% stuff that is in 121oz jugs.
Interesting. What department is the 10% chlorine in? Also, what's the cost? Thanks.
Queen creek arizona out Walmart sells two gallons of 10% for $6.47 find only need. 1-4 a bottle pee night to keep my pool at four to five. Price is $6.47 for two gallons. Can not find cha is tabs choices at Walmart of Leslie's is granular or liquid conditioner. Opted for liquid because did t want the granular to lay at bottoms of pool ruining liner. My pool holds 14 gallons its 22 ft round. I will be looking for a menards in my area baby's a great deal.
Pool area. 2 gallons for a little under $7. Only a slightly better deal than the stuff from Walmart ... assuming the chlorine has not broken down too much sitting outside at HD.
I just got back from Menards, where they are selling two gallons of 12.5% chlorine for the price of one -- $3.99. Came home with four gallons for $7.98. That just made my day. Sale good until 5/11. I might go back for more tomorrow!
Check out Sahara Pools on US 22 West in Lebanon, about 7 minutes west of Pelican. They had the 5 gallon carboys for $19 last year--I haven't bought yet this year. They seem to turn it over reasonably quickly, too. They have been my supplier since Pelican went to 2.5 gal only.
Unfortunately there are no HDs with a pool section here in Northern NJ.
Durk, thanks for tip. I'll call in the morning to inquire.
Ok, Sahara pool is $19.00 per 5 gallon carboy. Initial deposit is $8.
After one time fee that works out to $3.80 per gallon.
For those in South Jersey, this place has 5 gallon carboys for $12.99. http://www.thepoolstore.com/shop/product/liquid-chlorine-refill/#tab-description
I also get it from them and they sell good quality stuff. They get new pallets in all the time.
Are you sure it's not 3.78 liters ? A US gallon / 4 US quarts is 3.78 liters, or 3.33 imperial quarts, if you really want to get confusing.
EDIT -- that reminded me to update my signature and specify US gallons
