I read a bunch of stuff here but just got around to registering. I don't really have any problems to post. I am curious as to why the forum recommends to use bleach instead of cal hypo? I thought bleach had a low chlorine amount/per volume vs the cal hypo thats available now. Is it just a cost thing? I usually only need to shock twice a year with mine so don't really notice the cost of the cal hypo I use I guess. Either way does anyone know how much bleach produces desired ppm for shocking? Is there a chart somewhere?

Oh and I am shopping for a new ladder. What type of construction works best in your opinion? Anything I should look for especially considering mine is a salt pool?
