I have been one-batching with the twin pump system for a couple years out of a 50 gallon tank, and just bought a SWS skid. We don't do the volume some of you do yet. I am wondering if I fill my bleach tank with 12.5%, how long will this be good and maintain most of it's strength sitting in the tank? I know air and UV will decrease bleach shelf life.

It all depends...
If it is hot out and the tank is out in the sun it could lose half its strength in a week. Unless you are one batching your surfactant than the degradation will be expedited.
Using your injector will keep the bleach contaminant free. We had a full drum of bleach that was from last thanksgiving and this first week of April it was still practically full strength because of the cold temps keeping it fresh.
Sounds like I don't need to worry too much right now. Lows here in the mid 30's and highs in the low 60's. I'll keep an eye on it in summer though. Thanks, Zach.

Thanks for the input. Mostly I am concerned with during the season, in the tank on the SWS skid. Looks like the hotter it gets the more I will have to keep an eye on it. Luckily, my stuff is parked in a shop when not used, so that helps. Obviously, the goal is to be busy enough that this is not a concern. I would like to know if anyone has an answer to Gary's question above. Can you test this stuff? I'm sure you can, I just don't know how.

Yes you can by a test kit from Haulk Labs ?? High Strength ppm test kit example 100,000ppm =10% 125,000ppm = 12.5 %
