Hey Kim! Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately the algaecide does contain copper (7.1 % chelated copper), so I guess I should not use it. I could use the pucks since I tend to prefer vacuuming to waste after a heavy rain and then perhaps CYA will not increase so much. I thought perhaps when planning trips, I could over-shock rather than use pucks, I would not feel comfortable leaving the pool running without me around for more than 2-3 days (leaves, debris and storms), but I suppose that pucks floating around with no filtration would still chlorinate.
The pH does rise quickly with just regular filtering and return, so I may have a little further to go on lowering TA.
