New Owner Here.. Clueless! :)

Yes, it is fine to use both bleach and tablets at the same time. The only limitation is that bleach should not be poured onto the tablets. As long as they are each added to the pool separately you will be fine.
 
Ok. Do you have a complete idiots guide to your calculator?

duraleigh said he used the calc to come up with the 8.3 gal of bleach that I need. I have no idea how he came up with that!

In the upper left, enter your pool volume. In the next row, under FC (Free chlorine), enter 0 for "Now" and 20 for "Goal". Click calculate and you'll see the result, which comes out to 1037oz of 6% bleach when I run it.

ah ok.. so the 20 is ppm? But why 0 for now? The FC on my water test shows 2.2.

Just enter whatever it is to get where you need to be. FC changes almost constantly unless you have a well adjusted chlorinator or SWCG.
