Found this in a search this evening, too bad I don't live near Syracuse IN, though I'm not sure how I would move (or where I would store) a 458lb drum of NSF grade chlorine. Does it come with a visit from the ATF...

15 gallon drums! Sounds sweet, I could get monthly drops, but man, what a pita that would be to haul around and "slip" into the back spot on my pad. :)

I've known about the shortages in the trichlor market, though I didn't realize the price had gone up that much. Makes me feel better about spending $600 a year on LC. I'd assume almost anyone who "delivers" LC will be more expensive than HD/Lowes... the weight of the liquid makes shipping...

That's a pretty good deal, and I'm looking to install an automated feeder, but traveling to and from Houston - with 20+ gallons of chlorine in the back of my SUV - doesn't seem particularly practical or safe. I'd also probably blow most of my savings on the gas. :) That list you linked is...

No, I'm talking about 10% pool LC (hypo), not washing bleach. Both HD and Lowes sell it by the box under the name "chlorinating liquid" in their pool sections (which is usually near the garden center), and they typically sell it as a a house brand (e.g., HD sells HDX) though lately both stores...

As a southern pool owner (TX) I pulled the trigger a number of years ago on a switch from pucks to LC. Just got tired of fighting high CYA and decided I'd rather be surprised by a 6 month CYA crash and pay more to run LC than deal with toggling back and forth (pucks to LC to pucks) to keep CYA...

I SLAMed and tested per the instructions in the page you linked, including ensuring the chlorine level was matched to my CYA. Basically I SLAM perfectly over a course of five days, at the end of which I wasn't seeing a drop in chlorine level in the morning. That said, maybe I missed something...

Howdy folks. Thanks again for all the help and responses, wanted to circle back on this after having gone through the SLAM routine. So, I spent about 5 days SLAMing my pool. Followed all the instructions, took the Chlorine up to about 14, maintained it there for the duration, and then let it...

Makes sense. The weird thing is just that the water is CRYSTAL clear after shocking about 5 days ago, even with some kids swimming this weekend. The only noticeable issue is some small algae in spots, but that only seems to happen when we see rain (which, oddly, we've seen a lot of lately here...

Ha. Thanks! On a sidenote, my UV system is forward of my chlorinator. :) -rt

I guess someone missed my "no UV lectures please" line. However, if you must lecture about UV, note that sunlight UV doesn't penetrate anything but the first foot or so of water (making it mostly useless for a 6.5' deep pool like mine). The comment that UV filters do nothing is simplistic and...

The K-2006 is a pretty strong test kit, so not sure if I need the T100 instead/as well. As for SLAMing, I've shocked the pool multiple times with no problem... the pool comes out crystal clear, shocks just fine. The problem is MAINTAINING the chlorine level... it simply will not stay above 0.2...

New pool, opened about 5 months ago. I've been balancing the chems regularly, cleaning it, and keeping everything in tip top shape. However no matter what I do I can't seem to get my Free Chlorine over 0.2. At first I thought maybe my test kit was old (Taylor K-2006), but when I shock the...
