You're a LOON :)
Wouldn't the pool store sell it? I go to the one in Solomons and I did hear someone getting supplies for their saltwater pool.

Sneak into the pool some night, find out
Just google "saltwater pool" or "chlorine generator" for details.

In My Opinion
saltwater pools are awesome, stay the clearest and the cleanest for the least amount of work.Sneak into the pool some night, find out

No red eyes either and supposed to be better for your skin and hair.

That looks like the winner to me, price is almost certain to be better than a pool store. Thanks.

To close the loop on this. Mcays indeed does sell 20lb bags. Only problem was that Great Mills had only three, Wildwood appeared to not carry it, Charlotte Hall has them, but shelf was bare. Leonardtown, luckily for me, had about 8-10 bags.
Luckily for me, I had to do the round robin around the county to visit relatives. Its Morton, pure salt, cost was $4.49 a 20lb bag. Of course, I got 150lbs, and the chart that came with the generator says I need 160
Still got dome final leveling to do, and the fill, which will take a day or two, so I got time.

You can use water softener salt (I found out afterwards but evidently, it takes a good bit longer to dissolve. Well, Intex 18'x48" round levelled and asembled, water going in now.
Wife and I debated having it filled, but decided to take it slow, being a rubberized fabric aboveground, better to go slow and make sure its all right as we go. I am quite happy with the engineering that went into this thing.
Fabric is more like what the survival rafts we trained with than anything I've ever seen a pool made out of. Very heavy duty, tough stuff. Poles are sturdy, quick connect pins make it a breeze. Assembly takes about 30-45 minutes.

You see all those poles and assume its going to be a pain, but it really isnt. Only tool needed is a screwdriver that you need for 6 fasteners for the ladder. Otherwise its all quickpins.
