Cheapest place to buy pool chemicals
Posted by: bringonthehaters ()

New to owning a pool, bought all my chemicals from BJ's last year, but realizing now that they are a little expensive. Looking at Home Depot, which I never knew carried pool stuff. Seems cheaper. I hear Costo has it, but haven't looked yet. Hoping someone can please save me some time and give me a good suggestion, thanks!

Thanks for the Hatchik suggestion, but looks like they are a wholesale distributor to dealers only.

Homeland - LOL!

I was going to say Hatchik is wholesale only unless your local pool has an account where you can just go pay cash and use your local pool as whom you are buying for. Hatchik can be CRAZY BUSY this time of the season so what you save by driving and waiting is probably not worth it.

Buy small things online and get Chlorine from Walmart/Costco/KMart/Target/BJ's.

Try not to over buy Chlorine as it can get unstable if stored out of season as well.

Nothing worse than unstable Chlorine.

If you need Acid, Home Depot usually has Muriatic Acid.

Chlorine Stabilizer is worth while to reduce the amount of Chlorine burning off in the sun unless you have a pool cover and use it often.

If you get a can of HTH, add a little pine oil to make it last longer.
