Chlorine pucks or Salt water chlorine generators?

[PotatoChicken]

In my opinion I prefer to have chlorine generators! I do have a chlorine puck dispenser but I have heard it is better for you to use the chlorine generator. I agree with that because I have a chlorine puck and whenever I used it all of the chlorine would dispense to the bottom and it wouldn’t disolve ! Let me know which one you prefer

SWCG. I believe TFP is a no Puck zone. But I'll let the experts weigh in.

Pucks are for hockey, not pools.

SWG all the way!

SWG.

A puck feeder adds CYA to the water, which means you need to maintain a higher FC level, so you turn up the puck feeder which adds even more CYA to the water, which means you need to maintain a higher FC level, so you turn up the puck feeder which adds even more CYA to the water, which means you need to maintain a higher FC level, so you turn up the puck feeder which adds even more CYA to the water and on and on until you can't add enough FC fast enough and you get algae and the CYA level is so high that the chlorine level you need is beyond the ability of any test kit to measure. And then you have to empty the pool and start over. Except you have algae residue everywhere this time.

SWG good. Pucks bad.
