Hey Carl, where do you get 5 gal car boys in north NJ. Pool store with same name as guy from the Airplane movies ?

I generally like to get it at Sun Pools on rt 22 in Greenbrook. National Pools also used to sell it, but the rt 22 store east of Sun Pools closed and if there are others, I don't know, as has Branch Brook (Napco). Pelican Pools on Rt 10 in Randolph(?) and other places sells, I think, 2 1/2 gallon jugs--costs a bit more that way. Search by phone. I like Sun Pools best because when I test their 12% it always comes up at 14%--they turn over a HUGE amount each season. Branch Brook's "12%" tested at around 9-10% making it a poor deal and meant it sat too long. Rix Pools in East Hanover on Ridgedale sells the 2 1/2 gals--I think.

Lol! No, those are 3 Belgian Sheepdogs playing in the snow..relatives of our boy. They look bigger in the pic, but they are the size of Collies and look like black wolves.

Can I use granulated cl in a bucket of water then pour it in? The reason I don't use a floater is because I have a fiberglass pool, so I use liquid. Just wondering

You sort of have to pre-dissolve cal hypo; but usually dichlor dissolves fast enough so that's not an issue. If you have hodge-podge dichlor, I don't know -- it's possible that some of those blends are slow to dissolve.
