I visited the pool store today. Unfortunately, they didn't have the HEDP so I will have to order that. They did say that it is fine to use the liquid chlorine, and they did also show my level of CYA at between 270-300, so they didn't try to sell me more stabilized chlorine, though they did recently sell me a BioGuard shock product and told me to use that to chlorinate the pool. Unfortunately, that is also stabilized chlorine, so it will also increase my CYA level.

Question: when reading online, an article mentioned that salt is a byproduct of using liquid bleach in a pool. Is this correct, and if so, is my water going to taste salty? How do I prevent that??
