I know that "Tabs" is a four letter word around here and I'm coming around to the TFP method after getting my kit, cleaning up algae, and seeing my pool look better now than at all last season!
But I'm curious about why when using bleach (and a CYA of 100) I can measure a (from what I read on here, normal) 3-4ppm burn off daily, but when I was using tabs they were keeping me steady? Is my math below roughly the reason?
Tabs: 3 tabs/wk = 48oz @ 99% = 47.5oz
Chlorine: 48oz/day = 336oz/wk @ 12.5% = 42oz
