\"\"The Summer is near, and for many dealing with this pandemic, their only reprieve is opening the pool and enjoying a dip.<\/p>\n

Now it looks like a chlorine shortage may make it more difficult for pool owners.<\/p>\n

Chlorine supplies are running low due to a fire at a chemical plant in Louisiana last August that was damaged by Hurricane Laura. As a result, prices for tabs have skyrocketed.<\/p>\n

A quick look at Amazon shows that a 50-pound bucket of 3-inch chlorine tablets from the In the Swim brand now costs as much as $169.99, about double the normal cost. What’s more, supplies are limited.<\/p>\n
