RE: Price for SH

Mobile Prowash · Guest

I used Univar last year here in St Louis. They were at $2.72 a gallon for 53 gallon drum no deposit. This week I found a pool supply that will fill my drum with 15% at $2.60 a gallon so I will use them. They will also let me get any amount not just fill the drum. I went in Thursday and got 20 gallons just to make sure they had fresh SH. You have to go and find it in your area with the best price.

Were right at 2 bucks a gallon. Then $35 for delivery. Which is nice because I was paying 3.30 gallon and I had to pick it up. Im buying from a pool supplier instead of a large chem company now. They even deliver it in a truck with a tommy gate and put the sh directly in my barn.

Do any of these companies have a problem with delivering to a residence?

Roof Cleaning Little Rock Arkansas · Guest

The company I just switched to would probably deliver to my house. I was using Harcros and they delivered in a semi... so No for them and when I priced Univar they said No delivery to residences.

Harcros told me I had to have a $500 minimum order, but did refer me to a waste water treatment supplier they sell to. I pay 1.45/gal in a 15 gal container, perfect size for mixing a 40 gal batch. They are a beast to move around but beat the heck out of a 55 gal drum.

Are prices rising because of the economy? I called a waste water company today, at first he said $8.00 a gallon 10 to 12%, which blew me out of the water.....then I asked for a 55 gal price, $115.00 plus $45.00 drum fee....

Matthew · Guest

Wow,

I just talked my supplier into dropping his price by 10%.
We pay $1.28 a gallon here in my area for 15% SH.
I guess its because there are so many pools here in Sunny Fla.

Being in Central Texas I need to get some Texans to tell me what they are paying... biggrin

We are currently around $1.00 per gallon. It seems like your price is to high.

Hey Toy2 and all
1st time post but long time reader/studier. Blood has been pouring out of my eyes hear lateley from so much reading, but I think its worth it from the free knowledge you gain. Thanks to everyone. Toy2 I am also hear in central Texas and have been on the hunt for chemicals at reasonable prices. Got any good leads yet? I have a few still coming in. I dont know how far along you are in your start but are you interested in sharing info and maybe spitballing on some ideas. I currently own a small roofing company and am going to try and piggy back this on for down times. Let me know. Thanks.

Most of you should be able to find a supplier that will deliver on a predetermined route for aroud $2 or less a gallon. I do have to pay a deposit as well, but it circulates. We plan to install a fill tank in our shop this year and our SH supplier will just come and fill it up.

Are there any regs for the fill tank Bill? And what were you guys thinking a 500 gal.

I was thingking of doing this as well. Not sure if you had to register or apply for another license. My supplier has a 200 gallon limit for free delivery so I figure why not.
