Thanks Watermom!

You are welcome.

Regarding the dichlor -- The only other reliable place that we know of to buy dichlor is the Kem-Tek brand from Amazon but when I looked this morning, I didn't see the one we recommend. I've asked Ben to take a look and see if maybe I just missed it. (Or maybe they are currently just out of stock.)

Is this it?
