Coming chlorine shortage? - It is Here!

[Newdude]

Manager told me it was not due a chlorine shortage, but that plastic gallon jugs were in short supply and wooden palettes had soared in price.

I. Mean. To be fair, he also said your phosphates and TDS were off the charts

Also, gas is hard to get. So deliveries can't be made.

Truck drivers are in short supply.

Restaurants can't find enough workers. So, truck drivers can't eat.

They can't find enough workers to work at the manufacturing plants.

Low semiconductor chip production is limiting new-vehicle production. So, no delivery vehicles.

Chick-fil-A is facing a sauce shortage. I don’t know how they will tie that in to the reason you can’t get product, but they will come up with something to connect the two.

Cuz the guy who stocks the back room at the pool store beat up the Chick FIL A employee for extra sauce, and is in jail now. Nobody left to refill the display.

The plastic shortage is here! All the good plastic is in the Dang ocean. Now we have to dredge the oceans to reclaim all that plastic so we can make jugs for the chlorine.

I'm going with, it's Chick Fil A's fault.

Don’t forget we are short on change so truck drivers can’t pay tolls.

Well…..its for real at least this week around Philadelphia. Aint no LC within 20 miles of me. I am stocked for a couple weeks but next week its time to start really hunting.

I have seen a few posts of newbies nearby me with green pools getting the advice to SLAM. I haven’t yet posted that theres no LC in the stores nearby ….but thought maybe I should!

Have you looked into the Ocean State Job Lot in Montgomeryville.

Is nobody else having trouble finding chlorine? I haven't seen much chatter on here about it, but I can't find liquid or tablets anywhere around me. Even the bleach at Walmart is out of stock. The Pool Essentials liquid chlorine I usually get is now $54 a gallon. Anybody know of any places that still have a supply?

The pool store near me had an 11 lb bucket of trichlor pucks for $70. Talk about price gouging. I went across the street to Home Depot and bought 20 gallons of bleach for $4 each.

I haven't. I didn't even know that place existed. Thanks!

 

[red-beard]

I'm not sure that even passes the smell test. Plastic jugs and palettes are the issue??

When have you received good information on any subject from a Leslies?

I also called my local Leslie's yesterday asking if they had trichlor in stock. They said "what is trichlor? We have a small amount of all purpose tabs left".

Did you try Ace Hardware? Looks like they have some bleach and some HTH.

Thanks for the suggestion. They had pallets of it. People were looking for tablets and walking right past it.

Don't follow the sheeple!

Something odd is going on with the Lowes and Home Depot websites. They aren't listing the availability status of LC. So apparently you have to go in person and check. I presume this is to prevent hoarders and flippers from scanning all the locations quickly.

My local HD visibly had 3 full pallets and 2 used to pull from of LC.
