Hey all. Unsure what to do here. I am using 12.5% Blue Whale liquid chlorine (from Leslie's). I checked the box, and the manufacturer date is very recent (sometime in mid February 2025), and I store it in a dark closet, so I doubt degradation is an issue. When calculating on pool math to raise...

We're going to be planning a pretty big pool renovation and update soon, and are curious if it's worth adding a SWG?

Now my CYA needs to be raised (currently 30), and the previous owner left me A HUGE...
