Bulk Chlorine/Bleach in Austin, TX?

[VetaMerse]

Hey all,

I’m looking to build out a stenner chlorine pump for my pool in Austin, TX. It seems like getting a low % chlorine in a 55 gallon drum would simplify pool season and the stenner build.

Anyone know where I could by a 55 gallon drum of chlorine in Austin? Any other bulk options?

Thank you!

Don't mess with that. Just go to a salt water chlorine generator. Eventually you will, so skip the interim agony. I see you're Hayward gear, and they have excellent SWCGs too.

Yeah, I've been considering this. I do have Oklahoma Blue Stone coping. I need to do some more research on whether SWG salt levels are safe, seems like a controversial topic. I figured I'd research both options and see what makes the most sense - I'm just getting tired of this gallon jug nonsense.

I would check Pinch a Penny Pool Supplies and Service, as they give pretty steep discounts for volume purchase of liquid chlorine (at lease the one I go to does). The location I go to sells 12% chlorine for $6/gallon if you buy by the gallon, but reduces that price to $3.75/gallon if you buy 30 gallons at a time (it may be even cheaper by the gallon if you purchase 55 gallons at a time). With that said, you will have to have your own barrel for this option, but barrels are relatively cheap.
