    Yeah, this is called Clear XTreme Pool Shock. The label says 15% available chlorine and 12.5% sodium hypochlorite. I'm assuming this would be considered 12.5% concentration. I'm not sure what the 15% available chlorine part means.

    I don't either and I don't really believe an effective concentration of 12.5% at time of purchase. A quick Google search does seem to indicate it's a common bleach product sold for pools and listed by the EPA as Hypo 150. Menard's, a big box hardware store in the south, sells it for $1.99 a gallon if you have a coupon.

    This is at Menard's, but unless I'm mistaken Menard's is only in the Midwest. $1.99 per gallon would be an awesome price though.
