96lbs of Pool Shock!!

KristinesShower · #1 (**permalink**) 05-07-2008, 10:55:58 PM

In search of the best price for 4 cases of pool shock - preferably the super shock, but I would be satisfied with the plain too.

4 cases = 96 lb bags

I have a few places I am looking at, but wanted to know if someone else had some suggestions too. Thanks!!

Why do you need 96 lbs of pool shock?

That is how much we buy for the season and I want to get it bought while I have a little bit of money set aside for it.

I have also heard of people using straight bleach - is this common and if so, how much do you use? We have a 25,000 gallon pool

Straight bleach will damage your pool liner. I'm assuming you have an inground pool? Your best bet will be to use intheswim.com. They are the same price that we pay at our local pool store and we couldn't find any cheaper pool chemicals anywhere (online or in town).

LOL!!!! Dude, that would be a big creature!! I did find a few mice (blech)

No, I have an above ground - it's the 33' round one. Thanks so much for that website - they have the best prices I've found yet!

Repped ya!!

Don't know if this will help, but if you have an Ollie's, they carry pool shock and my good friend who has a pool told me the prices were good on the shock.
