Chlorine Shortage Hitting Pool Owners in the Pocketbook

Liquid chlorine in scarce supply

If you own a backyard pool, this will come as no surprise, there is a shortage of liquid chlorine. 

Many pool supply stores are limiting customers to just 10 litres at a time. 

The shortage also means higher prices.

However, chlorine pucks or granular chlorine are still available but at a much higher price than the liquid equivalent.
