Pool chlorine shortage: Why prices are high and supply is limited in Arizona this summer KiMi Robinson, Arizona Republic
Metro Phoenix residents who own pools might have heard rumblings of a chlorine shortage.
That chlorine tablet shortage is here now, and maintaining your backyard oasis will be more expensive than usual this summer.
Ann Everhart of Ever-Klear Pool Supply in Phoenix said pool owners can expect a “significant price increase” in chlorine tablets.
“It’s not a 100% increase (in price) yet, but we’re getting close to it,” she said.
Everhart has seen some customers panic a little, but she is not too concerned about her supply. She is, however, among the local businesses limiting how many chlorine tablets customers can buy at once.
