The nation faces a chlorine shortage as more homes build pools during the pandemic and a BioLab facility fire disrupted supply. Pool Town in Bedford reports near sold out granular and tablet chlorine as customers hoard. Experts note reliance on trichlor tablets and shift to powder and liquid chlorine, with saltwater systems rising in interest. Public health and water facilities remain prioritized while some Michigan pools report robust supply.
