Adding cal-hypo to pool

[KurtV]

mrrudedog,

I noticed that you live in Franklin, TN. I live in Nashville and haven't been able to find any pools stores that sell liquid chlorine. They have all gone to granular products. If you come across any that do, let me know.

Thanks,

Riles

Riles,
It's not sold in some states because it's not allowed. I have no idea if TN falls into that category.

I don't know the reasoning behind the law here in LA, but pool stores don't sell liquid chlorine. You used to be able to buy the gallons of 12.5% at Home Depot here but it was marked for RV use.

Seems especially crazy here as you can buy pretty much anything at anytime (think a half-gallon of bourbon from the gas station or a drive-through daiquiri shop or buying pet vaccinations at the feed store and administering them yourself). So, go figure.

I'm in the same boat here in North Texas and can't find anywhere that sells 12.5%. I'm not sure if they can't sell it, or if I just havn't found the right place to buy it.

I have no idea why they don't sell LC in those states. Maybe they can't compete with 6% ultra bleach prices. Or maybe the pool chem companies lobby the lege to outlaw a major competitor.

Heck, we all know they'd love to outlaw the use of anything marked "bleach" in pools, just because.
