I get bleach, Borax, and baking soda at WalMart!

I get my baking soda at Costco and Muratic Acid at a couple of places. I am looking to buy things like "Pool Perfect + Phosfree" and "Jacks Purple Stuff" online. I am interested in the Phosfree products as I have recently had very high phosphates and it was quite expensive to treat. It took 3 bottles of Phosfree (3 liters each) over a 2 week period to get rid of them. The bottles were $40 each. I have found a few websites that can save me nearly 50% with free shipping for Phosfree. I have never used bleach. I have a SWG and I just bump the % up when I need to super chlorinate. I also have Tahoe Blue Pebble Tec...would bleach harm it?

No, because:

SWC=chlorine
pucks=chlorine
bleach=chlorine

The end resulting compound, chlorine, is the same. Some folks w/ SWC have posted that they use bleach to superchlorinate to save their cell life.

Thanks for the tip. I will certainly keep that in mind.
