Don' do it!Leisure Time is good junk. If you find something cheaper, it's likely to be ChemTek or AquaChem or some other lamo brand at a home center. LT works, and has done so for us for 18 years or so.
Leisure Time, BioGuard seem to be the best. You pay more for BioGuard, but they are regarded as the best products.
You really shouldn't state that.ALL chems are basically the same, dichlor is dichlor and alkalinity up is baking soda.My dealer charges $23 for a 2 lb bottle of enhanced shock which is basically MPS and chlorine. I can buy a 5 lb bottle of dichlor from Doc for $25. That's a huge difference. My local pool dealer sold me a quart of algecide for the pool for $24 and I bought the same algecide from Leslies but a half gallon for a few dollars more.I don't go to dealers to ask for help and buy elsewhere. I am a firm believer to support the people I use ... I've been on Doc's site a while now and have received great info and I support.
Yea, but the % of active ingredients may be different. Shopeprs need to read the lables and not go just by price. I use Leisure Time and have had very good results. YMMV
