I'm using BBB now but would like to use the tabs for when we are away. Does anyone make just chlorine tabs that aren't di or tri chlore? I don't want to raise my CYA anymore but the tabs can be verrry handy!

I have only one season using the BBB method and have a thought. How long are you going to be away? If you have your CYA at the correct level already, couldn't you just raise your FC in the pool right before you leave and cover the pool to minimize the FC loss while your gone?

We live in a climate where CYA disappears over winter so a higher level at the end of the season doesn't concern me.
The process by which CYA goes away is difficult to predict, it can happen without algae, it is much more likely to happen with algae. It can happen every year for some pool, and never happen to apparently identical pool next door. You are lucky that you can rely on it, most people can't.JasonLion said:and usually only

I am now considering something like the Liquidator so I don't add too much CYA, but seems to be this whole process would be SO much simpler if I could just use non-CYA tabs in my feeder! We get so much precipitation over winter that my CYA has dropped from 60-30 due to numerous partial drains, but that's now just about right for the CYA level.
