    Leslie's Chlor-Brite has been the good stuff everytime I've looked. It's expensive but since you need very little... Don't let them talk you into anything else - maybe floaty toys.

    I found this on Amazon.Com, can you please advise if this is the Pool Brand dichlor. If not I will go and get a one day pass and purchase the one from Sam's Club

    I just ordered my AquaChek Salt Strips and my Taylor K-2006C, I already have the HTH 6 Way Test kit. I just like to have everything in hand before I start anything

    It sure looks like it to me but I cannot read the ingredient list on the packaging. Plus, did you see the price? $32.11 in shipping charges! I would just go to Sam's if it were me.

    I was curious that is it, i saw the shipping, which was a bit extreme. I will be driving to Sam's Club this weekend to obtain a one day pass and purchase the dichlor.

    There is a Leslie's in Lynbrook - you only need a few bags. The Leslie's near me charges $5.00 per bag.

    Yep, but read the packet - 99% sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione. I'm a little uncomfortable recommending Leslie's as the unit price is double but you need so little that I can't see buying 24 lbs.
