00:00 - Intro

02:57 - How to we make use of the limited chlorine we have?

03:33 - The chlorine shortage explained (by Joe, so it's better)

06:58 - Chlorinate at a time that direct sunlight does not hit the liquid chlorine. Either in shade or at night.

09:06 - Don't hoard liquid chlorine. It degrades over time, and don't be that person. Your peers and neighbors need chlorine too.

10:22 - What else can be done? Secondary oxidation/sanitization can supplement chlorine.

12:34 - What about deliberately slowing down chlorine? (Intentionally raising CYA)

15:02 - If you raise CYA on purpose, you can do that, but you should remove phosphates and non-living organics to further optimize the slower chlorine that you have.

15:55 - Keep nitrogen compounds (like ammonia or urea) out of your pool.

19:28 - If you're using algaecides, be aware of their byproducts. All of them have byproducts that will eventually conflict with chlorine and reduce it.
