Cost of chlorine tablets for pools, hot tubs goes up
Iowans with a private pool or hot tub who have leftover chlorine disinfectant from last year are lucky.
An explosion last fall at a plant in Louisiana destroyed 1.5 million pounds of chlorine and Iowa Parks and Recreation Association CEO Steven Jordison says that has caused the price of chlorine tablets to spike this year.
“I think that the realization is that because pools are now opening up for the spring, summer and fall season, reality has now set in from the incident that happened last fall,” Jordison says.
