"Calcium Hypochlorite is pool shock. You need to store it safely, because it will corrode everything surrounding it. I use canning jars, plastic lids (also amazon) and then Duct Tape around the lid to glass."

I bought all I'll ever need at garage sales.

I wish I would have beat you to the garage sale. I have a water well (good flow) with H2S. The only treatment is a bleach injector into a holding tank. I use a lot of bleach and found stockpiling was not a solution. The bottled bleach oxidizes and loses it's effectiveness rather quickly. That is how I came about handling pool shock before it was popular.

The chemical injection pump is a pain in the back side and they do take advantage of you. Every three years the pump diaphragm fails. No problem? They will sell you a rebuild kit for almost the same amount as the original pump. Ugh.

I am envious.
