Water

This brings a few questions to mind. I know that Calcium Hypochlorite is used to purify water in swimming pools, but where do you obtain it? Pool/hottub stores?

Secondly, don't you worry about the calcium causing scaling in your filters, or do you use an anti-scaling agent?

Also, do you use a stabilizer at all to avoid the loss of chlorine due to UV rays?

Regular old pool shock without additives can be had at wally world. Stored correctly it will last a long time. Water should be treated after the filter process.

No stabilizer. In fact you treat the water then let it breathe to reduce the amount of vapors.

Everything I have read about bottled water is that it just about is good forever. I have had some that was just fine after 5 years.
