HDX Chlorine

[RANDY M]

Everyones out of liquid chlorine so I'm trying to compare available amount in bleach.
Get a little confused with previous posts.

Home depot HDX chlorine shows 10% and 90% other ingredients.
SDS says 10% by weight.
Is this 10% available or less?
When I put 10% in pool math it changes automatically to trade.
Is trade and weight the same beast?

Thanks

Thanks again mknauss.
I am going to assume that any company selling chlorine/bleach is going to use the largest % number they can in their labeling which would be trade and/or weight.

Last question.
Bought 121 oz jug of style selection bleach at Lowes. Says 6% available chlorine on back label.
So do you think this 6% and the wt. is actually higher?

Just use 6% in Poolmath.

Been using HDX for years at Homedepot at a steady 10%. But they have been out of liquid bleach for pool for months now (as everyone) reverted to HDX 81 oz. Germicidal Bleach at a steady 8+ percent (from my tests), but prices are high, as so the price per oz, and limits on purchases, as well. Shop around. HDX 81 oz. Germicidal Bleach SDS

The HD in Katy has lots of LC. It is the Pool Essentials brand - not HDX - but is a box of 4 one-gal jugs (10%) for $16 + tax.
I prefer to use Pinch a Penny as they sell a refillable 2.5gal jug and according to PM chlorine calculator it is slightly less expensive then the HD product.
