Christopher 102 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 Down here it is $2.59 per gallon plus the $50.00 Drum Deposit but you only get back $40.00 on credit because they keep $10.00 for a fee to wash the drum. I called a place in Houston and they have it for $1.79 per gallon and only sell it in 55 gallon drums, It is too bad that they will not deliver to where I live or I would buy some.

CleanPortland 14 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 I just received a quote of $52.66 for 5 gal 12.5%. Then asked about a 55gal drum said $0.20 per pound. Does anyone know what SH 12.5% weighs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big mike 14 Report post Posted April 23, 2008 Here's a shocker; $4.10 gal NR drum or $3.25 with a returnable drum + deposit. OUCH!! This is the same company I get Ox for $80 a bag and citric for $70 a bag. Best of all Hydroxide beads $45.50 and Metasilicate for $35. I asked my sales guy why 12.5% was so high because last year it was $1.85 a gallon, he tells me demand is higher and petroleum prices are driving it up. I can buy 10% pool shock for $2.50 a gallon, and may go that route. Company is Hawkins Chemical in Minneapolis. They make the 12.5% on site so its SUPER fresh.

hpwasher 14 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 I am an engineer for a crane company and we recently installed a new crane in the buffalo water authority. The crane lifts a 8ft long x 3ft diameter cylinder of chlorine gas at 99.9% chlorine. I wonder how they condense it? I wonder if we could get it from that same place and store it in smaller pressurized bottles like an oxygen acetlyne size tank? (A) sounds dangerous, but if its cheaper.....I like cheaper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gutter Squad 14 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 12.5% SH weighs pretty close to 10 lbs per gallon. I know that a 50 gallon drum (55 gal size holding 50 gals) weighs 508 lbs per a supplier near me in Dayton. (I know this figure because we were talking about hazmat requirements for having markings on the vehicle or not). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

john@AEC 37 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 Over here I get it for between 55c & 65c a litre from pool supplies or hardware - just bring in my drums and fill up as many as I need from their bulk tank (always fresh as refilled weekly). To compare prices- it is about 4 litres per gallon ($2.20 - $2.60 per gallon for chlorine) while diesel is about $1.70 per litre ($6.80 per gallon) and rising.
