View Full Version : 12.5 Chlorine?
I'm new to power washing. I see people using "12.5% chlorine" with simple cherry. Is this chlorine bleach?
thanks for the help.

Yes, it's double the active chlorine than the bleach you use for laundry. You can find it at any pool store.

I am pressure washing this weekend and can't get my hands on the 12.5%, I plan to use regular bleach and double the strength combining with simple cherry. This company is in Middle Tennessee and sells 12.5% chlorine for $125.00 per 55 gallon drum. I just don't have time to get the strong stuff before tomorrow.

I'm unsure. Don't you have a swimming pool store near you? They sell it there.

Not the same... You can't double the strength. You'll just have to find alternative ways to apply the solution. It will be too weak down streamed. Do you have an x-jet? That will get it on the surface strong enough to be effective.
Also, agree with trying to find a pool supplier nearby. They usually have it.

Does brickwork take longer and how should I bid ...The house includes long chimney and brickwork in the back arond foundation...What is possible damage to outlying areas for using 12.5 bleach with simple cherry???
