SoCal users weekly cost of LQ

[TCAL]

Wondering how much Southern California users are spending weekly on Liquid Chlorine? With our hot and extremely sunny weather it gets used up fast.

I spent about $400 in 2022 on chlorine. I buy a mix of 10% or 12.5% depending on what’s convenient. During the summer I use about 2 gallons a week. During the colder months, 1 gallon a week.

I purchase wholesale so my cost numbers are off.

Where do you purchase from? I tried calling around to different chemical companies and cleaning businesses with no luck. I’m in the SF valley area - west hills

SCP, must have an account established in order to purchase with them.

@AQUA~HOLICS Bummer. I called and they said they only sell to pool businesses not regular folks who just need chlorine. How sad and frustrating at this time when chlorine is incredibly expensive.
Any pool guy I ask will laugh in my face so I suppose the search continues. I need around 70-80 gallons a year. This year so far I’ve used 32 gallons of 10% and 32 gallons of 12.5%.

12.5% I use between 32-40oz per day during summer. Now? Maybe 6oz per day or less. I get the refillable jugs at a local store for about $8 gal. Last time. Cost and consumption vary wildly

Set up an account. It's NBD. There were no mandates on purchase amounts.

The person at the Van Nuys seemed to imply you need to have a pool related business to set up an account. I’m not in the pool business.

Yes you are. You fired your pool guy and became a service company. They don't need to know that you only have one client.

It's not like being a doctor or lawyer. Call or go visit and say you want to open an account for your pool business and see what they say. Even if they want a business license it's like $40. Worth it if it's really convenient for you.

It’s a bit out of the way, but I’ll look into it some more. I didn’t know it was so easy to get a business license. Seems so official!

They will gladly take your money at the government offices.
