We've been in our house with a pool for just over a year -- basically, one season. So far maintaining the pool has not been difficult. However, I am a bit confused and concerned about the use of chlorine tabs.
To raise my FC level I use Drytec Calcium Hypochlorite Granular -- 68% strength. I have also been using 3" tabs to stabilize the chlorine. My initial understanding is that chlorine can be depleted very quickly by the sun (and we get plenty here in FL!), so some stabilization is needed.
I'd like to reconsider this approach in light of the TFPC . I would welcome input from those well schooled in the TFPC approach. I do use Baking Soda already so I may be a good candidate for the BBB or what is now preferred TFPC.
Thanks for your input.
