EQArtimus,
I live about 5 miles west of Buda and have used the LQ for about three years. I am about to convert; probably trying tabs first. If the cost of partial drain/refill to control CYA is excessive I may switch to SWG. Heck, my salt level is already 2900 from all the bleach I have been using.
IMHO, LQ is great for some but is really a pain if you have a large pool exposed to the Texas sun. The chlorine load is just too high to make the LQ convenient. The relentless hauling of bleach from the store to the pool, the refilling and the required LQ maintenance, like cleaning white stuff from the floats, has all combined to make the system too burdensome for me. If I was retired, I would probably keep it but I'm not.
Do yourself a favor, stick with the tabs. Like the old saying goes, the cheapest chemical you will ever put in your pool is water.
