I just paid $21.00 for 2.5 gallons of 12.5% bleach. I am flabberghasted! Thinking about chlorine alternatives, any suggestions for my 40,000 gallon concrete pool in Pennsylvania?

We received one estimate from a PS to refurbish our pool’s plaster. Prices are from high to really high (likes!). Low end—marbelized plaster in white, medium -plaster with color quartz finish, or aquaBrite finish. I would love to know opinions on what would be best for the money? We had tile...
