The No. 1 benefit, for me, is liquid chlorine doesn't have Cyanuric acid (CYA) in it. Chlorine pucks use CYA as a stabilizer in them, which just happens to be what turns hair green and also brittle. No.2 is cost and availability of liquid chlorine. I currently pay $12.99 for 12% 5 gallon carboys. No. 3 is ease of use, especially with an automated system.
One year update: This has been a perfect clear, crystal clean pool summer with this chlorine pump!! Ever underestimate the power of a steady supply of chlorine daily especially when away traveling.
Baking Soda (PH +) and Muriatic Acid (PH -). Cyanuric acid to stabilize the chlorine and Twenty Mule Team Borax to stabilize alkalinity and as a pH buffer. Reference the BBB Method online and check out www.troublefreepool.com/blog/pool-school/
Best invention Jeff! And liquid chlorine stayed so cheap this year (even though the pucks were pricey)
Can you explain the benefits that liquid chlorine has vs. using chlorine pucks? People ask me but I forget the chemistry.

@@jtousch1 and now , summer 2021, there’s a shortage of chlorine pucks/ tablets but liquid chlorine is not in shortage!
No green hair!

What other chemicals do you use in pool?
