Aussies - "Bleach"

[amlez]

Do any of you Aussies on here use 'bleach' as an alternative to liquid chlorine?

Most common one I come across is White King ($4.25/2.5ltr) - cheaper than the $13/5ltr I pay for 'Liquid Chlorine', but MSDS states <10% rather than nailing a definitive percentage??

I find it cheaper to simply buy it from Bunnings.

They have liquid chlorine (12.5%) for around $15 for a 15L container. They do have a container deposit which is credited to you when you go in there and swap/exchange for a new 15L container.

I find supermarket bleach generally too expensive especially when comparing concentrations.

Cheers Costas - don't think they do the container swap thing up here in Darwin.

Last I looked I think they only had 12.5ltr containers for nearly $30.

Out of curiosity - do you decant the 15ltr containers into smaller bottles? (would have thought they would be a little cumbersome poolside?)

I use one of these...: Container Aeroflow Tap - fits most liquid chlorine drums - Wholesale Pool & Spa Supplies Pty Ltd

If that’s Bunnings you’re talking about. The container credit is only mentioned when you pay. I had no idea. Paid $30 for 15 litres but the at checkout was told it included refundable container credit of $15. I actually like the smaller containers better. The returnable containers don’t seem to have a date stamp on them.
