I do not know if Home depot has made a pricing mistake because the cost of 2 gallons of 10% chlorine is listed for $18.98! Yikes, that's a 45% increase from last years price. Walmart has 1 gallon/ 10% chlorine for $5.46, so I bought 32 gallons for the season. It's looking like a salt water...

I'd love to see an UPDATED cost comparison of the different Chlorine sources available. Home Depot's cost of chlorine locally (SF Bay Area) is around $9/gallon (pack of two for ~ $18). I could not believe the price. Last year it was about $5/gallon. Three years ago, I was buying it on sale at...

I switched from 3" tablets last year due to high CYA levels. I switched to Calcium Hypochlorite (shock) that results in keeping the algae at bay but the calcium, I assume clouds the pool. This year I have switched to liquid chlorine (for about 1 month now) but because of the high CYA levels, I...

I also have a cloudy pool because I have been using Calcium Hypochlorite to chlorinate the pool due to high CYA levels already present. My sand filter does not do a good or quick job of filtering out the calcium component. I have gone over to liquid chlorine exclusively for the last two weeks...

I had been using the 3 year typical life "blue" bubble cover but most recently bought a longer life (5-7 year) clear cover and it is holding up fairly well after 2 years in northern California. Is the one any better than the other for loss of chlorine? Has anyone ever measured this with...

Split by moderator from HERE. Please start a new thread to ask your own questions and not hijack other member's threads, especially 3 year old ones. Thanks, jblizzle My CYA levels are also very high and unfortunately, due to the water shortage and the draught here in California, I cannot dump...

How long doe a SWG cell last. I assume it is supposed to be catalytic only but what is the practical life for a cell? I heard of many people going to salt system/SWG only to go back once they find out the expense of a replacement cell.

It sounded too good to be true: a low energy use, smart pool cleaner. It is too good to be true! Maytronics, well known for their robotic pool cleaners isn't perfect. Look at all of the problems users have had with their Maytronics cleaners on this forum. The common problem: "my unit turns on...

I have been using Leslie's granular chlorine since the pool was new but no have to put too much in w/respect to CYA levels. I am now using liquid chlorine which is actually Sodium Hypochlorite. Will the CYA already in the pool at a high level protect the chlorine and as a result will have high...
