Thanks pool doc. My mom has a membership to Sams, and it's an hour away, so that might be the way.
We do have a bottle of HTH stabilizer HTH at 96%. I'm assuming the other 4% is the goop you are talking about and this other stuff is more pure shock, correct?

We will look into Sams or order online on Amazon. Thanks for the link. That helps a lot.

Oh, as for the test strips at a hospital. Most are used for baseline and anything untoward is sent to the lab. At most hospitals I have worked at anyway.
