Price of liquid chlorine at Shmeslies

[nabril15]

Hello to all
I just paid $9 for a 2.5 gallon refill of chlorine at the store that rhymes with Shmeslies. Wow. It used to cost close to 5, before hurricane X supposedly destroyed a chlorine plant near Louisiana.

Is there a cheaper solution somewhere else in South Florida? The lady at the store suggested that getting small bags of their shock product, 5 for $30 I believe, is a better deal.

Nine dollars!!! Neuf. Nueve.

Just remember that the "shock" will add stuff like CYA or CH to your water. Not a big deal so long as you test your water and keep an eye on it so you can do a water exchange when they get too high.

$3.60 per gallon? I would not hesitate to buy that.

My only problem would be by the time I drive from Las Vegas to Florida, there goes my savings. I paid $14.98 + tax for a 2 gallon pack at my local big box hardware store.

I don’t complain too much because I only need liquid chlorine in the winter when the SWG shuts down due to cold water.

That’s a great deal compared with the rest of the country, buy two jugs!

Home Depot has gotten $10 per gallon at times this last year, Lowes was usually $8.

Pinch a Penny is normally the freshest LC as they have a big supply tank that is refilled on a routine basis. Also at $9 for 2.5 gallons is a very good price these days.

That price is pretty good,just make sure it hasn’t sat there since summer,that price for shock is not bad either.But watch out with cal hypo it can cloud water and add calcium and dichlor is 57% cyanuric acid stick with liquid chlorine as everybody on this forum will tell you the same

For the veterans out there, Pinch A Penny offers a 10% discount. I think Leslie's might as well, but can't remember exactly. That 10% adds up quickly!

5 of what for $30?
1# bag of 99% Dichlor ?
73% cal hypo or maybe 65%?
Is the liquid chlorine 10 or 12%?
Without knowing these details its hard to say which is cheaper per fc.
$9 is what I also pay for 2.5 gal refills of 10.5-11% which beats wally world currently. Not a bad price at all.
