It has 6.5% sodium hypochlorite

Right now the product is out of stock, but I was wondering if it ever goes back to stock would it be wise to use that?

Home Depot has 128 oz for $8.50 giving me 0.0664 cents per ounce.

Family dollar has 121 oz for $2.95 giving me 0.0243 cents per ounce.

I know that different concentrations have different demands, so using the pool calculator:

To raise Fc from 1.2 to 3 I would need
43 oz of liquid chlorine giving me a cost of $2.855
69 oz of bleach giving me a cost of $1.68

So if that bleach is fine to use on an inground pool, it would be cheaper in the long run unless there's something wrong I'm seeing?

Other than a lot of extra plastic to dispose it works great.
