High CYA

Ryan have you called any of your local pool stores to see if they have liquid chlorine? Most of the times Pool stores have 12% chlorine. You do have to pay a deposit on their jugs but in my case it is cheaper and easier than Walmart. You will need to think about how easy it is to get to on a weekly bases as well.

Just something to help save you some money. Your math does sound about right.

Thanks,
Ryan

Here is a copy/paste from the chemical part of TFP

CH - Calcium Hardness

Calcium hardness can be raised with calcium chloride or calcium chloride dihydrate. They are available in some areas as Peladow, Dowflake, Tetra Flake, or Tetra 94, often sold as a deicer by hardware stores, and some big box stores, in colder climates. Pool stores will carry either calcium chloride or calcium chloride dihydrate under a variety of names, including Hardness Plus, Balance Pak 300, Calcium Hardness Increaser, etc. Calcium products should be spread across the surface of the deep end of the pool.

I hope it helps.

Can anyone point me to a good online source for buying Calcium Chloride that you've had good experience/price with?

Thanks,
