Hey guys,
Canadian Tire just started their annual sale on liquid chlorine - $3.79 for 3.6 litres (just under a gallon) instead of the usual $4.79. I'd like to stock up but I've seen numerous posts talking about how liquid chlorine loses its strength rather quickly.
But just how quickly?
I recall that LC's half life is dependent on the temperature it's stored at. In my case I can make some room in our mechanical room which, during the summer while the AC is running, stays around 65-68 degrees Fahrenheit. Never over 72. Pool shutdown for us is typically at the end of September so I need around 4 1/2 months worth of supply. Would my LC still be relatively potent if kept in a 68 degree room for 135 days?
Thanks in advance,
m.
