We don't recommend the routine use of chlorine pucks. They cause too much rise in CYA stabilizer, which means your free chlorine requirements increase also.
Have you considered using liquid chlorine (or plain, unscented household bleach, NOT Clorox brand)? You can find 10% liquid chlorine in the pool section of Walmart.

I've run into high stabilizer this year from overdoing pucks.
I do have liquid chlorine but it is hard on the bottom of my liner pool.
My last pool guy didn't hook up the main drain to my pump (pipe still there) and all chlorine easily makes it to the deep end bleaching the liner.
I was researching non-stabilized tablets here but they either goo up the equipment or add too much calcium over time.
I did buy hth extra Duration chlorinating capsules - 6 capsules for 18$, (65% calcium hypochlorite) but they seem both expensive and dont have much chlorine.
Any better options ?
(1) chlorine pucks / capsules / whatever
(2) a method of getting chlorine into the pool while still being liner friendly until I get my main drain hooked up again ?
