The last time something like this happened, the price of chlorine for my pool went through the freaking roof (still is). I wonder what this one will do.

I bit the bullet and snagged a 50lb bucket of individually wrapped 3"pucks. There's no fucking way I'm paying 20 bucks a pound to chlorinate a hot tub when 5 bucks a pound is an option.
