Favorite Calcium Product?

[EnglishM]

Ugh. Time to stock up on pool supplies, and I find that my favorite calcium product, SnowJoe MELT50CCP (Calcium Chloride Pellets) seems to have been discontinued. Loved it because it was clean, dissolved easily, and was $26/40 lbs! I can't stomach pool store prices...anyone have a recommendation?

Hopefully just out of season (not for us though). This seems to be a close out price...

I bought 40 pds of puri tech from Walmart but not that cheap. I think I paid $54 and now it’s $65.

Thanks for the ideas, y'all. So much is out of stock.

BTW - I like your PoolMath is Life! Now you just need to share your PoolMath logs! Then there will be a PoolMath Logs button under your avatar. In PoolMath hit the gear/setting button in the top right then scroll all the way down to Sharing. Turn on Link with TFP profile.

The last time I ordered it I got the Puri-tech brand from Amazon:

I see it has gone up since the last time I bought it.. but that was pre-'Rona pricing.

I just bought CYA from that seller, BackyardPoolSuperstore. Except I bought it from their own website and saved tax. If the IRS (should read State) asks, I’m filing a Use Tax return.

I get my CYA from them too.. 25 lb at a time and I store it. I think I have enough for one more year....
That was State tax you likely bypassed. The feds will chase you down for something else I imagine.

Correct on both counts.
