Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine
- Thread starter JohnT
- Start date
Our local Walmart, and Loews is flush with gallons of 10% sodium Hypochlorite. If people only knew that it was half the price of Chlorox.......
Stopped by one today. Pallets of 12.5% for only $3/gallon! The closest one is 30 minutes away, but I was near one today.
I went to two of the local BJs on Tuesday and both had lot of 4 packs of 12.5% for $14.99...was funny to see that they were almost out of Clorox Pool products but the LC was fully stocked.
I buy gallons of 12.5% from Ocean State for 2.99 a bottle. It's the cheapest I've found it, without buying 10+ cases.
my local Walmart this morning! Kernersville, North Carolina

I am simply amazed at the low cost of chlorine in the northeast U.S. $3 a gallon for 12.5% would be a dream here in greater Houston, where the best price I can find is at a pool store--Leslies. $16.99 for four gallon jugs in a box. After adjusting for chlorine content, Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowes are all more expensive. If anyone from Houston, especially the west side, is reading this and has a cheaper source, I would really appreciate hearing about it.
What % is the Leslies? When I needed liquid chlorine, I was ordering online from Home Depot and having it delivered to the house. $9 for three gallons of 10% (3 gallons to a box). I would order 6 boxes at a time (18 gallons total) because they charged for freight shipping ($$$) if you ordered 7 or more boxes. Otherwise the shipping is $9. Super convenient, even if the price is close to Leslies.
Man - Home Depot doesn't even offer home delivery (unless it's freight) for the liquid chlorine in my area.

Leslies is 12.5%. By my calculations, that's 25% more chlorine per gallon than 10% chlorine, and being able to drive right up to the door is a plus, and the store guys will carry it to your car if you want. I usually buy at the Cinco Ranch store on SH99--Grand Parkway (it's in the same center as Total Wine, so very convenient). Leslies on Mason Rd has it, as does the one on Westheimer Parkway near Katy. Mason road raised their price to $20 during the shortage, so I've removed them from my list of OK stores. The employees at the Westheimer Parkway store don't wear masks, so I avoid that store for now, too. The SH99 store is pretty busy and turns over pretty fast, so I call first to be sure they're not out of stock.

Where do you guys get liquid chlorine in Las Vegas?Interesting. I found this but it's only 6%. $34.80/10 for even 10% wouldn't be too shabby given Amazon rewards points
Based on my research, lowes has the lowest price:
Lowes:
10% - $7.48 for 2 gal or $0.292/oz
Home Depot:
10% - $8.98 for 2 gal or $0.351/oz
10% - $8.08/e for 4+ box--> $32.32 for 8 gal or $0.316/oz
Fresh Pool Supply:
10% - $9.99 for 2 gal or $0.390/oz
10% - $14.95 for 4 gal or $0.292/oz
Pacific Pool Supply
12.5% - $12.95 (HASA) for 2 gal or $0.405/oz
Walmart:
10% - $3.64 for 1 gal or $0.284/oz but they are old, like 2017 in my store.
Not to sound stupid here but I have been reading posts here and you can just use Clorox bleach instead of getting jugs at the pool store and is liquid better then tabs I have a hard time keeping it from getting my shirts lol no matter how careful I am

You can use Clorox bleach but I have not seen any in the stores in months.
Hi - from Katy, TX. I have done the same investigation and found Leslie's to be the cheapest. I have used Pool Math to do the calculations. The only advantage with Leslie's is every so often I get a $5 coupon. I used it this morning so I got the 4 gals for $12.98 inclusive of tax.
We get nearly all of ours from Wal-Mart. Last batch I bought was only 5 days old. It's not uncommon for them to be out of stock so I check online first. Walmart also stocks 2-packs for something like $9/box (2-pack) so avoid those.
Looks like Lowes recently increased their price. My nearby Lowes stores the chlorine outside in the sun and it's pretty old.
