    We don't have any Sam's clubs around me and I was afraid to buy it from Target because of the warning saying it might not be pure. This is the one they sell .

    Yeah, don't get it from Target. If you don't have a Sam's club, order the Dichlor from Amazon.

    Yeah, that's what I thought. I was going to drive to Sam's Club in new jersey this evening unless you say I can get away with waiting for Amazon to deliver. Thanks again for all your help.

    You can just use bleach for a few days until you can get some dichlor but you may have to add bleach a couple times per day since you don't have any CYA in the water. (I don't know how far of a drive it would be for you.)

    If you have Amazon Prime, you can get things delivered within two days and free shipping. I think the yearly membership for that is $99. Definitely worth it for me since I order from them a lot. Gets me my stuff fast and no shipping. I definitely get my $99 back and then some.

    And, by the way --- you are very welcome!

    I didn't make it out of work in time for Sam's. So I joined prime and I'll have everything tomorrow. I dosed with bleach last night 4 x 3/4 cups and I'll do it again later today. I'm hoping that will be enough to hold me over until tomorrow. Again, many thanks!

    . . . membership updated.

    WaterMom wouldn't have known it, but because I keep up with the Kem-Tech line, I can tell you that if Target is selling EXACTLY the product pictures in the link you provide, that would be fine. But, it's trichlor, not dichlor, so you'd have to buy a floater to put the tabs in.

    If you do go to Target, check the label when you get there and make sure it shows at least 89% available chlorine. If it does, they are selling the correct product.

    If you go to Sams, this is what you want: http://pool9.net/sams-dichlor24/

    . . . membership updated.
