Bleach question

[SerenityIV]

I've been using these refillable bleach jugs from Leslie's where I live. They're $5.50 to refill 2.5 gallons and I thought it was quite a good deal. The guy at Leslie's said it's 12%, which leads me to my question. Check out the picture on the jug. Is it indeed 12%, or 10.5%? Obviously it will change some of my dosing. Pretty sure there's no cal-hypo or stabilizer based on the labeling as well. Obviously not wanting to raise CH and CYA.
Am I safe with this stuff? Still in rookie stage ?

Many of Leslie's stores reduced their strength in the last year or two. I remember others saying that. So while the clerk may be saying 12%, the label says otherwise. I'd call that 10.5.

Yup. That says 10.5

That's what I thought. And I'm safe with the CYA and CH stuff?

The pool liquid chlorine will not have any by-products like stabilizer or calcium, so you're fine there.

You sure are! liquid chlorine does not contain CH or CYA. Not much to it but a bit of salt and a lot of water and a couple other things of zero consequence.

That's what I thought. And I'm safe with the CYA and CH stuff?

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated as always!

Search around for the coupons. Sign up online with Leslie’s. You should get a coupon for 7.77 or 8.88 for two of those

I have a local pool store that sells 4-packs of 1gal 12.5% sodium hypochlorate ("liquid shock") for $14.50 + tax.

Oops I was wrong the last coupon was for $7.99 for the two 2.5 gallon carboys
