Is 12% bleach 1:1 water the same as 6%?

typically the percentage is number of grams per 100 cc. That would make it 6 percent if you add water 1/1, If you want to split hairs, the substance actually displaces volume in the mix so it would change the percentage a insignificant amount.
 
Great answer Mathew.
 
No, it is NOT the same at all.
Prove it to yourself ?

Take two pump up sprayers, one filled with straight Clorox, and one filled with 12 percent SH cut 50 percent with water.

Both mixtures SHOULD be 6 percent, right ?

I guarantee you, the straight bleach wont do anything to the algae on the shingle, but the 12 percent cut 50 percent with water will smoke when it hits the algae.
A Chemist explained it to me once, but for the life of me I can't recall the explanation.

That is WHY the ARMA method is full of chit.

If STRAIGHT Bleach won't clean, HTF is a weak ARMA Mixture of cuy down bleach ?

Actually, it was ME who started the whole ARMA craze, LOL

It SOUNDS good and makes a good sales story, but it ain't cleaning.

Unless you have a week or so ?
 
I figured that was the case. We used to get our stuff from Rowlett in 15 gallon drums, but he's gone. Since then weve been using cloros which does work ok, we havent been doing as many houses either though, more flatwork. But I know when we first used the clorox from the 12.5% it took more work for the same product. Thanks, just wanted to get it confirmed.
 
Dan, you need to get hold of my friend Dwight from BMC Pressure Washing in Tennessee.
He was havin trouble gettin hold of Sodium HYpochlorite.
He is 1 1/2 hour north of Memphis.

Hey, my helper is from Memphis.

I asked Dwight this, and I will ask you, IS Memphis a VIOLENT City ?
I hear it is NOT a place for a white boy to get caught after dark ?
 
Definatly not the same , store bleach will not clean like 12.5% , you can dilute what I buy 2:1 or 3:1 and it still cleans way better than bleach from a store
Also I pay 1.60 a Gallon (little higher than last year) but if you dilute it 1:1 you are paying .80 per gallon for mix ? How much is a gallon of 6% now ? Like rite at 2 bucks , the math dont add up
 
Good point Russ. I just had a price increase last month so my bulk rate is almost the same as the old non-bulk rate so instead of paying $2.59 and going to the bulk rate of $2.00 per gallon for the bulk rate, the new bulk rate is $2.39 per gallon. This is for 10%, not the 12%.

I can get the 12% in 55'ers for $1.89 per gallon with a flat-rate shipping for $87.00 as they come here from out of town every other Wednesday so if I ordered 4 or more, I would be ahead of the game, just don't have that much work yet. Hopefully soon.
