Last year I switched to TFP / SLAM and never looked back. Water is clearer and easier to maintain than ever before. This year, opening was a breeze. Now, the issue. I cannot find the 10% Pool Essentials liquid chlorine I've used in the past. All stores are completely sold out of the stuff. My suspicion is that people realized it was bleach and with the C-19 issue, it's being used for that. Either that or a LOT more people are listening to TFP. Anyhow, I have a limited inventory of this stuff left and I'm a bit concerned about what to do when it runs out. I have some old tablets from Pre-TFP days but I really hate to resort to that. My CYA is already higher than I want it. In my area Walmart and Lowe's both carry the Pool Essentials but all are out of it. Anyone got any alternative suggestions? Seems the only regular bleach I can find is scented or splash-proof, plus I'm sure it's only 5-6%.

Do you have a True Value hardware store near you? You can order 10% LC online and pick up in store.
