This nationwide shortage has put stores out of stock entirely or driven them to hike their prices up.

Not only is there a high demand for chlorine but also in pool liners and above-ground pools which was due to everyone staying home in 2020 because of COVID-19. Pool owners do have other options such as liquid chlorine and granular chlorine.
