Just found out two gallons Leslie liquid chlorine in the shed from last summer. Can I still use them or have to get rid of them? I know the strength will be weaker. I am just afraid it will create some damage to the pool by using old liquid chlorine. Thanks.
Can I use last year's liquid chlorine

It won't cause any damage but won't be as effective as new
Retest after adding will give you an indication

If I had to guess, it is probably around 6% bleach now (assuming it was stored at 75-85 degrees and was 12% to begin with. The half life depends on concentration/storage temp. The higher the temp and concentration the lower the half life.
Thanks. What I am worried is the degraded by product will hurt the pool or vinyl. If not, even 6% is not bad.
If this was a non salt pool I would say no. It won't hurt any pool, but I wouldn't add it unless I wanted the salt.
I do have salt water pool.
haha, this might be the most expensive sodium chloride solution
