We've had a terrible summer in NJ. It was incredibly hot the last week in June, then ok the week of July 4th, and then we've not had more than 2 dry days in a row since (we sanded our deck in late June but are still waiting for it to be dry enough to stain it). Due to this I've not been able to keep stabiliser in the pool - I think there's so much water going in (and draining out through our overflow) that it's constantly getting diluted. We've had so much rain that for 4 days at the end of July we actually had a stream flowing through our backyard as the ground water levels had risen and it was just flowing out of the ground!
Since there's only a month or so left of our pool season, I'm going back to tablets for the rest of the time. Given that I've put about 30lbs of CYA in the pool since the beginning of June and when I tested yesterday my CYA was at 20, I think I should be fine - and using the tablets to add both chlorine and stabiliser is probably the cheaper option at this point. Having said that, other than the usual testing to make sure my CYA levels don't suddenly shoot up, is there anything I should watch out for?
Pool ownership has certainly seemed like an expensive hobby with no great reward this summer
