Hey guys, I was wondering if there are any good places to buy higher percentage liquid chlorine in the DFW area. I know you can get it at Home Depot, Lowes, etc, but is there a place that is even cheaper yet?
That's interesting, last time I checked there was nowhere in the Dallas area that sold higher concentration than bleach. I'll have to check it out again...oct2274 said:Hey guys, I was wondering if there are any good places to buy higher percentage liquid chlorine in the DFW area.

Huh, I've been in there many times and not seen it. I'll have to look closer next time...shay1208 said:I've seen 10% chlorine at HD on Coit and Campbell in Dallas or Richardson. I am fuzzy on the lines right there. I've heard, but never been there that Ace Hardware carries it.

That's what I did and found cases of 12% for $9 (with the coupon they keep sending me :-D ) - but I'm not in Tx...
Around here, the services use trichlor, dichlor, and cal-hypo.
I did call basically every pool store in the area a couple of years ago. They had no idea what I was talking about.
I'm not sure I'd buy it even if they did stock it. "Lugging" bleach bottles does not bother me in the least, and I really think the price I pay for it can't be beat at any concentration...lightingguy said:Around here, the services use trichlor, dichlor, and cal-hypo.

That's just depressing.....
Yeah, y'all are lucky indeed! I don't understand why a large market such as DFW has so few options in this regard. It's not for a lack of swimming pools...Sportsman said:It's $6.50 for a two gallons of 10% at Lowes here in Central CA. Surprised something is actually cheaper in CA than TX. I'll have to see how the stuff I just bought stacks up as to actual percentage but last year my does were matching the pool calc. There are so many pools here, the volume may create lower prices and stock turnover. At least at HD and Lowes, the section for 10% Chlorine is larger than shock, clarifier, etc. Maybe I'm just in a BBB town!
Local Leslies is far higher than $6.50 for 2 gallons.
You're welcome. I should qualify that I saw it at HD last year. I saw it at Lowes (Preston & 190 location) last weekend. It is branded Smart like the acid they sell. It was 10% for 4.99 / gallon so you would be paying for the convenience of the higher concentration.Beez said:Huh, I've been in there many times and not seen it.

Thanks for the info!
