Ok, thanks, I'll check out the Jandy NeverLube option and see what input others may have as well. As far as the feeder, I can't see myself removing the tablets daily, kind of defeats the purpose of an automated chlorinator. Thanks again for all your input.

Ok thanks, yes, I am aware of the chlorine gas - just thought that the SS would be able to handle it like other areas of the pool. So since there is always tabs in the auto chlorinator (whether the pump is on during the day or waiting for its next daily cycle), now the question is how can I...
