In the past, SMS told me (rightly so), the best place for liquid chlorine
was HASA in Saratoga with the coupon was yourpoolguys.com in Saratoga.

BTW, I just doublechecked the liquid chlorine, where the pool guys that
SMS recommends are $18.40/4 gallons of HASA 12% liquid chlorine, while
the nearest competitor is $17/4 gallons; however, as SMS noted, with
the ongoing coupon of buy-1-get-1-free, the pool guys turn out to be
only $21.62 for 8 gallons, including the tax that you have to pay on
the value of the free chlorine - so it's clearly the best bet for
liquid chlorine.

You can only imagine the mark-up on liquid chlorine if they are able to
make sufficient margins at $2.50/gallon versus $4.25/gallon of the place
that's $17/4 gallons.

The other advantage of HASA is that it's delivered every couple of days
fresh from the manufacturing plant, so the 12% is probably really 12%.
The boxes of two gallons of 10% from the big box stores are likely less
than 10% because they sit around.

I just finished getting the pool cleaned up. Now I have to install my
two-speed pump.
