In response to your other question about lowering CYA with backwashing, it won't be enough. In a clean pool, the sand filter will get dirty very slowly. I backwash mine once every 4-6 weeks. If you only use tablets, you'll probably need to replace water more often than that.
Okay, so taking this with a grand assualt...
As I mentioned, I purchased the TF-100 kit and got the XL package as well so I have enough to play with. The more I read about tabs, the more I dislike them as well. Bleach, baking soda, CYA and calcium hardener will be my goto chems.
So thinking through this logically, once the pool is established and clear, I'll need to test the FC daily. If low, add (Clorox) Bleach. *Any specific one?*
Other than that, it's pretty hands off as the PH, CH, TA, and CYA won't change much as I'm not draining / refilling and not using tabs / powdered shock.
Is this basic logic correct?
