CHLORINE REDUCERS AND ALTERNATIVE EQUIPMENT
TRICHLOR SHORTAGE: Last summer, 2020, during the pandemic and just before a major hurricane through Louisiana, the
chlorine factory that produces roughly 40% of the nation's supply of "trichlor" and "dichlor" was destroyed due to a fire. This
means that until production can catch up to demand there may be an impact on availability. There are other options and we are
always here to keep your pool healthy. Speak to one of our store or service team members to find a solution that's right for you.
Follow our Tips & Advice at watercrafters.com for more information on alternatives and reducers for your pool.
