Got back from Lowe's a while ago and they had kemtech 10% with a date of 20 129 can't get much fresher than that. Picked up 12 jugs. $7.98 for a 2 pack.
I'm not too far from you, and I've dumped at least that much in the past week. More, I think. I had to dump about a "step"'s worth last night because it was almost running over.Lowe's Home Improvement in Greensboro, NC had about 75 bottles of the 10% pool essentials as of this morning. I got 5 more just because of all the dumping of my pool water with the 14" of rain over the past ten days, I went through more than I would have liked...
Has anyone tried ordering online from Home Depot and having it delivered to your house? I just placed that type of order for six cases of 3 gallons each (18 gallons total) for $9 per case ($3 per gallon). This is for the HDX Chlorinating Liquid, which is 10% chlorine. HD also charges $9 for delivery, but the convenience is worth it to me, assuming this actually works.
Depending on the pool surface, excess calcium is not desirable. Stabilized pool shock adds more CYA. None of those are good in the long-term or frequent usageSo why would I buy liquid chlorine at 12% or somewhere around that versus shock at 73%?
I don't have high CH, and rely on my SWG for most of my chlorine needs. At the beginning of the COVID-19 situation, I ordered a bunch of cal hypo in powdered form to have on hand. I've used that when our chlorine needed a bump with no ill effects. We were able to get Home Depot contactless pick up of their liquid chlorine later, and will use that when needed now. With the powder it takes a little longer to be crystal clear.Depending on the pool surface, excess calcium is not desirable. Stabilized pool shock adds more CYA.

Seems like a good idea, but I have a few questions: Don't you folks worry about the chlorine deterioration with that quantity? Especially if HD stores it outside prior to delivery? Where do you folks store the jugs while at home? Are you able to see the manufacturer date prior to ordering?I did this in April, ordered 6 cases for a total of 18 bottles for $9 delivery. It worked out great. I tried to do it again yesterday and only one store, out of 5 nearby HD stores, had 2 cases in stock. These cases were not 3 gallon cases either but 2 gallon cases selling for a dollar cheaper than the 3 bottle case. Def get it while you can.
Must be nice! For some reason the Home Depots around here believe we're only worthy of two packs for $8.98Home depot has HDX 3 X 1 gallon 10% bleach packs for $9.98... but $8.98 if you buy 4 or more packs!
