It s been a concern for us, said Cody Saliture, owner of Texas Pool Professionals, which has been in business for 17 years.
The Rockwall, Texas-based company services 200 clients weekly, and Saliture said he recently began to stockpile chlorine tablets. He s also been looking for different chemicals to keep pools sanitized and his customers happy. We re looking for anything that we can get that we don t have here in North Texas, Saliture said. We ve been to about six states and 15 cities [for supplies].
The chlorine shortage is widespread and it will likely worsen driving chlorine prices even higher as homeowners start to prep swimming pools for the season. CNBC spoke to pool industry insiders in multiple states including Florida, Michigan, Nevada and Texas about the tight supplies, which are expected to blindside pool owners, who are largely unaware of the problem.
