Thanks @PoolStored ! I picked up a couple gallons from Home Depot. This will not last me very long. What do people do in this situation? I might want to switch to a SWCG. What SWCG do you recommend? I don't want to hire anyone to do it. I want to be able to install it myself. I had a friend buy...

What happen? All of sudden tbeyvare all gone. There were so many about 2 weeks ago. The HDX is more expensive than what I was used to paying. I woukd get away with a gallon every two days.

Hello everyone! I have an issue, I usually buy liquid chlorine from Walmart and just ran out. I just checked all Walmarts in a 50 mile radius and they are all out! What is my next move? I live in Southern NC and I don't know what to use instead. Any suggestions would be great!

Perfect! What about for the equipment, like the piping?

I do not have a heater.

I do not have a heater. Prior to posting this I had just added a gallon of LC (10%) which will get me there. So with a vinyl pool, I do not have to worry about my Calcium Hardness?

Hey TFP, I want to work on my Calcium Hardness. I have a 50lb bag of calcium chloride. It seems I need to had the whole 50lb bag. What is the best way to go about this?

Test

How would I do a mechanical dosing of liquid chlorine? I have a chlorinator, but I thought they were only used for pucks.

I have passed the overnight test this morning! I am going to let my FC levels drop. How does everyone maintain their chlorine levels. The article mentions the pucks not being a good source since they have an effect on CYA.

Ok awesome! Thank you very much for sticking it out with me TFP fam! I think I can take it from here!

With the high chlorine levels, is CYA going to be accurate?

So that is the problem now. Since I have started the SLAM, I have vacuumed to waste at the beginning and replaced water a few times. I figure my CYA will not be the same since I replaced water.

So my kids can swim while keeping the FC at 31? Or should I just let them swim for a little and then test and chlorine and if they want to go back in later that would be ok?
