Chlorine Prices 2024

[RonsPlc]

Well, I just got off the phone with my chemical supply house.
It seems that the 55 gallon drum of 12.5% chlorine that I get every year has gone up in price once again. (I'm not really surprised.)
This year it is running at $248 after tax. I remember (not too long ago) it cost me $150.

$4.90 a gallon for 55 gallons. As long as you can use it up before it degrades.

I have a barrel buried in the ground that feeds my Stenner to mitigate the degradation as much as I can.
I go through a barrel every year with a bit to spare.

HD is $8 per gal + tax

I went to my local Walmart yesterday.
$5.97 per gal +tax

$4.99/gal for 12% @ Menards (Mid-Michigan) yesterday. If you can be bothered to faff with the rebate, you can get 11% off that, so that would bring it down to about $4.45.
Datecode was about 3 weeks old.

Thankfully, I only use it for the hot-tub now

If you don't mind sharing, who do you use to purchase the 55 gallon drum from?
I've tried this in the past, and never could find a supplier willing to sell just one drum.
I'm sure the $248 is before shipping too which could eat into the cost as well.

Thanks for any advice!

They are in Gadsden, AL.
They are used to the local pressure washing services order one barrel at a time.
They will deliver locally for free, I USED to work in the same city they are located, and get them to deliver it to my workplace.
I live 50 miles away, and will have to go pick it up this year.
Last year I had to leave my place of employment due to having to care for my wife in her final days.

Not LC, but for those with pools that seem to like to munch on CA, found some Cal-Hypo on Amazon for $150 for 55 lbs.

Try your local janitorial supply company.

For anyone in Austin, a shout out to Texas Pressure washing. I stopped by there today -- they sell 12.5% chlorine for $3.50/gallon. Just please bring jugs that are bigger than 1 gallon since they are set up to fill giant tanks.
