    DiChlor or Bleach?

    Question: Does Chlorox 4-in-1 pool shock definitely contain CYA? I can only find Dichlor specified on the ingredients. Also, what is the difference between 6-in-1 shock vs 4-in-1. It says (on the 4-in-1 packet) that it's specifically for vinyl liner pools and won't bleach your liner. Is this...
