Looking for suggestions for liquid chlorine (bleach). Any decent grocery store type bleach you can recommend? Or do you know of any decent priced higher concentration liquid chlorine like the pool stores sell. Leslie’s wants $18 for 2 gallons of 10-12.5% liquid chlorine. That’s ridiculous.
 
Walmart often has 10% for $6 a gallon. Hardware and big box home improvement stores often have varying LC sizes and concentrations as well.

Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine

Members frequently ask "Where is the best place to buy liquid chlorine where I live?" This thread is an attempt to consolidate all of the places you know of in your town so others can share in your good deal. If you know a place that has a good deal on liquid chlorine, whether it is a pool...

Not sure what is in your area - Walmart carries it here, and a brief search says they have it for about $6/gal - your local store may vary.
Don't think you have Menards in Delaware...
 
When you Google up who has what, go to the upper left corner in poolmath for the bleach calculator. It'll convert all the different strengths to price per FC so you easily know which is the best deal.

Home Depot and Lowes have been ridiculously priced for a couple of years and most have been using Walmart if they can't find a bulk supplier. Pool stores sell 12.5% and may or may not be a deal.
 
I’m using liquid chlorine to sanitize and was getting a good deal at BJ’s Wholesale Club. 4 gallon case of Austin’s Liquid 12.5% chlorine Shock for $24.99. Well now all the BJ’s in my area (northern Delaware) are sold out. The pool stores in my area like Leslie’s want $40 for a case of 4 gallons.
Anyone have recommendations for alternatives at a decent price. Also, I would use regular store bought bleach but is there a way to tell if it’s just sodium hypochlorite with no other additives that could mess up the pool??
