Does anyone use Amazon to order chemicals, especially chlorine and acid? If so, I would appreciate your recommendations! My small, local hardware store is closing and since I can't support them anymore, I might as well take advantage of that Prime account... Thanks in advance!

Thanks Oly -- Home Depot is definitely my backup. It's a bit out-of-the-way from my commute, so I was hoping someone would have suggestions for Amazon, but maybe my best bet is to make my purchases in person.
How about your local grocery store for bleach? Walmart's pool section often carries 10% liquid chlorine, or just their great value bleach.
Just don't buy anything with scents, thickeners, cloramax technology.....what you want is just plain bleach! Usually 6% strength these days.

(Think of your poor mailman having to haul a bazillion gallons of liquid chlorine to your door! Ouch! Ya better tip big at Xmas!)

I order online CYA "Puri Tech" from Amazon for <$2/pound and Calcium chloride Pellets (snow melt) from Walmart.
All the rest comes from a "Neighborhood" Walmart bleach, baking soda, 20 mule team borax.
and
Lowes - muriatic acid

Since liquid chlorine and muriatic acid both weigh roughly 8 lbs a gallon it is prohibitively expensive to have it shipped in quantities smaller than a pallet. They also have to be kept upright and in vented containers, making them both pretty much no-go's for UPS or FedEx.
