Apple Roof Cleaning 202 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 Yep, and here is the proof It is rated at 10 percent, but probably started life out at 12.5 It is probably as strong as you guys outside of Florida are getting, and is there at WAL MART when you need it. Price at 2.96 a gallon is steep compared to what WE pay, but we are in Florida, and buy a LOT Enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am working on some improvements on our spray system, and when done, I will post it. We TRY and use professional equipment, but you know how that goes. When ya got jobs to get done, and no UPS came, ya do what ya gotta do. At almost 3 bucks a gallon, we wont be buying much SH from Wally World, but it is nice to know it is there, just in case.

0 CB works 14 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 I wonder if that is an area specific product for Wal-Mart. I can't imagine them carrying 12% for pools in Minnesota or somewhere like that. Then again, when I lived in Hawaii I remember them selling snow shovels in December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Gutter Squad 14 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 They carry it in Ohio Walmarts. I pick up the 4 gallons boxes both there and at Meijer when in a pinch. Boxes run anywhere from $8.99 (on sale) up to $13.99. High prices, but again, good in a pinch. Never as fresh as what I get from the various pool supply stores in 2.5 gal packs or larger.

0 MudDuck 20 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 I haven't seen it here yet but I bet it's a seasonal (summer pool) product for them. I hope they get it here, I can't find 12.5 anywhere within 50 miles. What price are you guys paying for your 12.5 per gallon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rob R. 14 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 Stopped by my local wal-mart and NO DICE! :/ Oh well, gotta start looking around my local pool supplies places and see what kind of deal I can work..WM was just a convenience option of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 rick77 14 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) I found 10% sodium hypochlorite at K-Mart. It's bottled as "SHOCK" Chlorinating Liquid For Pools & Spas. $3.73 per gallon. The nearest 12.5 sodium hypochlorite is about 50 miles away and cost $30.00 per 5 gallon so that's 6 bucks a gallon plus a 100 mile round trip. I think I'll just get the 10% sodium hypochlorite at K-Mart for now. If I find a closer and cheaper place for 12.5 % sodium hypochlorite I may get it. Heck, some guys just use 6% and Dawn dish detergent and say it works fine. So my mix for house washing is 10 oz. of Simple Cherry, 2 gallons of 10% sodium hypochlorite, and 3 gallons of water. I also have F-13 gutter grenade of which I could put 2 or 3 ounces in the mix for really dirty jobs. Does this sound like a decent useable mix (for house washing) to you guys? I'm not doing roofs at this point, just the siding, gutters, soffets, gables, etc. Thanks!

0 jetstream1 18 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Did you say 30 for a 5 gal...WOW I just pick up for a job 7 1/2 gals I think I paid 11 $ you must have a place near by Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 rick77 14 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Did you say 30 for a 5 gal...WOW I just pick up for a job 7 1/2 gals I think I paid 11 $ you must have a place near by $30.00 for 5 gallons of 12.5% sodium hypochlorite was a phone quote I got from a store 50 miles away from here. I'm going to check back because the girl who gave me the price over the phone may have been wrong. If she gave me the correct price I would never pay that much for SH and drive a 100 mile round trip to get it. If I can get 10% at K-Mart I may as well go get it as needed. I don't do a lot of power washing at this point. I basically only power wash for some of my residential window cleaning customers. If I bought 12.5% SH in bulk it would go bad before I could ever use it all. You're lucky that you can buy 12.5 % SH for $1.46 per gallon. I'm a newbie and even I know that you're getting a really good deal. Heck, that's about the going price for 6% sodium hypochlorite at the grocery stores around here.

0 Apple Roof Cleaning 202 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Nice thing about KMart and WalMart is IF you buy some bad stuff, take it back. Some Chem companies will not do this. Some will sell old stuff to you that is basically salt water, and refuse to replace it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some will sell old stuff to you that is basically salt water, and refuse to replace it. Is there a good way to test the sodium hypochlorite 10% or 12.5 % to make sure it's still fresh (strong) enough prior to mixing it with one's house wash soap of choice? I'd hate to waste 10 ounces of Simple Cherry by mixing it with a bad batch of sodium hypochlorite. It would be great to know that the SH is good before mixing it with the other stuff.

0 MudDuck 20 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Put a few drops on some skin and see how fast it heats up. The faster the better. You live too close to Greenville and Anderson to not find 12.5% at a good rate somewere. Stay away from the pool stores if you can, there way high $$$.
