Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine

[PoolFool.]

Wal marts all over western North Carolina are out of the pool essentials LC too. No idea what happened. It’s been an easy get until this point.

I think what happened is it used to be cheap and economical to buy non scented 8.25% bleach at a lot of stores, including wally's.
Now the have increased water and decreased the bleach content all for the same price. So really a huge price hike has sent everyone scrambling for some good and relatively inexpensive stuff.

Water's not cheap to bottle and ship you know. And the retail world just increased your shipping and container fees by almost a third.

FWIW, here in Northern Virginia I found 121 oz. of 8.25% “More concentrated” bleach at Food Lion “on sale” all summer for $2.15. Just last week however jugs at 6.0 started showing up branded exactly the same way, other than the small print on the back showing the percentage. You definitely have to check every jug to be sure it is what you think it is!

Just a heads up. Here in Harrisburg PA, Weis puts pool chemicals on summer clearance. Austin's pool shock 12.5% is only $1.50/128 oz! Was manufactured in july here and stored inside. .09/oz!

Yes that is the trend around here also it says 5.7% available chlorine

Wouldn't you be scared to buy chlorine online. What if they send you one that was made 6 or more months ago and all its potency would be gone. If you get it at the store, you can actually look at the dates yourself and pick the one you want

If you buy 6% you don't have to worry as much about dates.

Orchard Supply Hardware has Kem Tek 10% chlorine on sale for for $4.99 for a case of 2 gallons.

Kmart (Hartsdale, NY) has 25% off 1 Gallon Kemtek Liquid Chlorine 10% for $3.74. You can also use a $5 off $50 purchase from "Shop Your Way" if you are buying a lot or are have something else to buy. When I bought it I got a coupon for 10% off pool supplies starting the next day.

For those in Canada, the best I've found is actually Canadian Tire - $5.99 for 5L of 10.8%. It often goes on sale too - just picked up 5 jugs at $3.99 each.

Aquarius Liquid Chlorine, 5-L | Canadian Tire

I have been using it with no issues. Can’t speak to the longevity of it, but I am getting the expected results

I was over NH for the weekend and grabbed 2 cases. 12.5% for 2.99 25/07 lot. Wish I grabbed more but I was worried about the longevity. This stuff is good.

I just found this online https://www.pjpmarketplace.com/aust...leach-6-percent-1-gallon-chlorine-liquid.html Math works to $2.82/bottle. Since I am new here, would this work?

 

[Arizonarob]

Problem with buying online is, you really need to see it in person so you can read the date code to see if it’s fresh.
I can’t read the ingredients in that pic, but it looks to be just plain bleach. So yes, it should be ok.

 

[P00L_newb]

Actually I just back from Wal-Mart, they have the generic brand 6%, for $2.22, going to be hard to beat that price.

Walmart’s value bleach is pretty good for the money $2.48 a gallon! I’m using around half a gallon a day.

$1.25 a day for my pool that’s pretty cheap!!
