Trying to move away from Pucks for daily use...

Be very careful with the pucks. It is amazing how fast the CYA comes up when using them and pretty soon you have slimy walls and cloudy water. One 6Kg bucket of 3 inch pucks raised CYA on my new fill from 0 to 50 and, with the air and the water so warm, it only took about a month to empty the bucket. Had I not switched to liquid chlorine I'd be in big trouble by now.

For your future reference based on YOUR pool size: Per PoolMath, 25 ounces of 8.25% bleach will raise your FC 1ppm.

Thanks... I saw the pool math calculator. That will be helpful.

You don't really have to store a lot of bleach, just buy four gallons and when you get down to one gallon buy a few more, etc. etc. Not a lot of storage space is needed.

On Long Island I doubt that you will see many 100'+ days. Storing your chlorine in a shed in 85' weather for a few weeks will be fine. It's unlikely that they will be there all that long. Arizona is a different matter. "Hot" is a relative term.

Mine stores fine in the pool box as I use it up here in North Texas. I keep a just in time inventory each week. Around 6 to 7 jugs. I add to a 14.4k pool about 3/4 to a jug a day in 100' heat. All others markers spot on.

Now is a good time to shop for a swcg and reduce the storage requirement for chlorine at all!
