My store has htv chlorine 2 gallon box for 6.50 is this cheaper or worth the extra change to buy liquid chlorine compared to bleach
Need to know the concentration in the liquid chlorine to compare...
If 10% - $6.50/2/128/.1 = $0.254 per oz chlorine
if 12.5%-$6.50/2/128/.125 = $0.203 per oz chlorine
Most jugs of bleach in stores are now 8.25% but you must verify this. If the jug size is 121oz and 8.25%, all you have to do is divide the price of a single jug by 10 and you'll know how much your paying per oz of chlorine.
$2.97 for 121oz of 8.25% = $0.2970 per oz chlorine
$3.25 for 121oz of 8.25% = $0.3250 per oz chlorine
Using the proper calculation:
$2.97/121/.0825 = $0.29752 per oz chlorine
$3.25/121/.0825 = $0.32556 per oz chlorine
The numbers are so close using the proper calculation to the simple *divide by 10* method that you may as well divide by ten when dealing with jugs of 121oz 8.25% bleach. This divide by 10 only works if the jug is exactly 121oz and 8.25%.
