Is this Clorox branded chlorine safe?

[whiter0se]

I am still having trouble finding which household bleach is usable in pools. As far as I know, we are not supposed to use anything that has any scents or “splashless”.
I’ve managed to find this. 6x81oz bottles for $40.

Are these safe? What about 90% of the “other ingredients”

That is fine. Crazy expensive, but fine.

Note that Clorox bleach is 7.5% chlorine when you enter it into PoolMath

Many of us are using 10% or 12.5% liquid chlorine.

The 7.5% and only 2/3 of a gallon jug makes it expensive. You are paying over $10/gallon of 7.5% chlorine.

If you can hop over the GWB I can tell you where you can load up on 12.5% chlorine at around $8/gallon in NJ.

But not on Sundays because nothing is open on Sundays in NJ … and you’re not allowed to pump your own gas … or make left-hand turns.

Try “chlorinating liquid” at Walmart or home
Depot/Lowe’s. Should be much cheaper.

Pure liquid chlorine is available at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc., at a fraction of that price. Do you have access to these stores where you live?

Untrue.

True.

Untrue.


1 out of 3 correct.

Thanks for playing know your state.

I was just at Woodbridge Walmart over the weekend. Brought 6 gallons of 10% chlorine. I just found those Clorox bleaches and thought about having those as backup. If not then might as well use them for laundry and other cleaning around the house/yard.

But if you can please let me know where I can get 12.5% chlorine, I'd appreciate it. I don't mind a drive to Jersey after-hours when the price gouging bridges are 'off-peak' pricing.

This is funny because as a New Yorker whenever I need to fill up in Jersey I always get yelled at by the gas station attendants for filling up my own gas.

I grew up in NY and lived in NYC for over 10 years. Going over the GWB was not something I hoped to do regularly (I’m more of a Throgs Neck Bridge kind of guy). And, as a child of NYC parents growing up we were always taught to drive around NJ whenever possible (except to buy tax-free clothing) because if you ever missed your exit, you’d have to drive all the way to Pennsylvania to turn around.
