You need chlorine in your pool to keep the water clean and safe...this much you know. However, not all chlorine products are created equal even though they all end up as sodium hypochlorite once you add them to the water. Some chlorine sources are weak, while other types of chlorine are very concentrated. Some have cyanuric acid added to them as a stabilizing agent to help the chlorine pucks / tabs break down slowly in erosion feeders. Of the many options you have available to you for chlorine, liquid chlorine remains a staple of residential swimming pools often being more available, lower cost, easier to use and without the addition of CYA. This makes a very strong case for liquid chlorine being the best possible chlorine source for you to use in your pool.
Pool stores that sell liquid chlorine often use the product as a loss leader to get you into their retail store environment. They know you need chlorine of one form or another in your pool, and by selling the liquid chlorine at or near cost, or even sometimes as a "loss leader" where they make nothing selling the chlorine, but hope that you will make additional purchases every time you are in the store picking up your chlorine. This is a great reason to shop around for a supplier for your liquid chlorine and be sure to ask about loyalty card for buy 9 get the 10th one free - this is another common liquid chlorine promotion that pool stores will run.
If you are still overwhelmed with the water chemistry and balancing of your swimming pool then I would suggest you take a few minutes to review the Swimming Pool Steve water chemistry crash course. This will help you to know what you need to know, and what order to make corrections to your pool water chemistry variables.
