Ok, for the standard store stuff (home depot/Walmart):
Chlorine-Bleach at WalMart
Alkilinity Increaser-Baking Soda at WalMart
PH down-Muratic Acid (for my Aquarite SWG) at Home Depot
Salt-Water Softener Salt at Home Depot

Can you get CYA at any non-pool stores? If so, where and what form/brand?

Any other chemicals I'm missing that I might need?

thanks!

I've seen CYA at some Walmart stores, and Lowe's too, I believe.

I think you mean pH down is muriatic acid :)

I bought a jug of CYA from Kmart a couple seasons ago. I still have some in it, and they still sell it :)

Sorry, yes that is PH down on the Muratic Acid and I have corrected!

The CYA at K-mart.....is this in the pool supplies or somewhere else?

thanks!

CYA may be labeled as stabilizer or conditioner. Check the ingredient label and if it says cyanuric acid or isocyanuric acid it is the right stuff.
