    Diluted liquid chlorine sold?

    I have noticed that anytime there is a so-called liquid chlorine scarcity (here in Canada) I notice that it is not as potent. It feels like it has been heavily diluted with water or something. I feel like this is not right since they have marked up the price. How common is this in your area?

    Pool plug stuck inside skimmer or suction line
