Chlorine Shock - Liquid or Powder?

Thanks for the insight Ben.

I have no knowledge of the production date of the product, so based on that info and the shelf life problems, I'll stick to just buying fresh Liquid shock each season.

Or as an alternative, Costco sells the Clorox "concentrated" liquid bleach (8.25%) at a decent price.

Thanks again.

Just be very, very careful.

Clorox is doing a LOT of 'brand' and 'product' "differentiation" by adding 'goop' to their products. It's very hard to find plain Clorox bleach, and much of what you can find is 6%, not 8.25%.

And unfortunately, virtually everything Costco sells for pools -- except plain A & H bagged baking soda -- is a BAD idea. By contrast, the trichlor and dichlor Sams Club sells are plain, pure, and a great price. The Clorox bleach at Sams is, unfortunately, still Clorox bleach

Thanks Ben.

It will be the Walmart Pool Essentials Shock as first choice, and Sam's club TriChlor or DiChlor second.

Thanks Ben.
