I have never bought tablets before, but I need some while I'm on vacation. I bought a 5 pound pail of Clorox tablets and there were five 3 inch tablets in there. I don't have a scale or I would weigh it, but I thought there would be more? Anyone know generally how many I should get in 5 pounds?
 
They are definitely 3 inch and the pail wasn't sealed. I think someone took some out. On the one hand, I should return it. On the other hand, I'm scared I won't get a replacement. These were really hard to find on the first place. I probably don't need more than 5, but it kind of pisses me off. These things are so expensive.

I'd be upset too! The way the pricing for tabs is going soon the crack addicts will be passing by the catalytic converters in favor of stealing buckets of 3" chlorine pucks!

Just be careful if they say “xtra-blue” on them as those have copper in them.

If i buy them i aim for the pool essentials ones at Walmart- they are plain. They sell them individually.
Do u have a cover u can also put on while u are away?
Lots of folks either do slam level or however much fc the pool usually consumes each day x’s the amount of days they will be gone.
I have a high cya (swg) so i raise to slam & float a couple pucks for a week away incase of equipment failure/ power outage. I always have mucho fc upon return.

Yes, basically last time, I added the amount for the days I was gone and covered it. It was fine when I got back, but figured I would try the puck. This year, I'm just more on edge cause I opened to a green pool and today is day 5 of the slam. It's almost clear and don't want to go back.
