Do you have a Menards or Home Depot near you? Both typically carry liquid chlorine, pool shock, chlorinating liquid, etc.

I just got some HTH Super Shock in single packets. It's $3.50+ so more expensive than liquid chlorine up front, but it's 54% calcium hypochlorite which means I use less than my 10% liquid.
Can Splash Pool Shock be used as just a daily chrlorinator (or as often as needed)?
Your math is a little off on this one. One pound of that cal-hypo will raise your FC by 9.7 ppm. One gallon of 10% will raise it 15 ppm. You need 1.5 bags of 54% cal-hypo to equal 1 gallon of 10% liquid chlorine.
@Zone Yes, that is 12.5% liquid chlorine and a good choice for daily chlorination.
Yes, it is the exact same thing. It is just called "shock" because that is the traditional application of it.
Oh, I was going by the app. It said to raise my FC from 2 to 6 I needed 6.6 ounces of 53% cal-hypo. I normally add 40-44 ounces of liquid 10% sodium hypo. Is that not the same thing?
Thank you! I had to google Jamestown. ? My local little old Ace Hardware had it.

You do not show a city so I used another means to guess your locality. Not sure if it worked!
