Shelf life of liquid chlorine

[eagle47]

After a peaceful "trouble free" summer with my pool (thank you TFP!), I'm getting ready to close this week. In cleaning up my stock of pool supplies in the garage, I see that I have 6 gallons of liquid chlorine leftover from this summer. Any chance at all that they will still be viable next summer? My garage is unheated, so there should be no problem of heat or direct sun light over the winter. I hate to just throw it away; any suggestions or uses for this left over LQ?

You can use them next spring, but they will have lost some of their strength. So, be sure to test after adding to be sure you hit your targets.

Just keep them in the dark cool garage.

If you bought them at the local HD or lowes, return it. Someone will soop them up within an hour.

Laundry, bathroom cleaning, pressure washing the deck and driveway..... I can think of quite a few ways to use it up even if its lost a bit of strength.
