I am trying to understand cleaning the pool by my self. If I added the Chlorine to the pool, do I still need to add/keep the Chlorine tablets inside the floating chlorine dispenser?
Generally no. The idea behind making daily additions of chlorine via liquid chlorine or bleach is so you can stop using the tablets, since they add unwanted chemicals (CYA or sometimes calcium) that build up over time.
As long as they stay dry, chlorine tablets will last for years. You can use them when you need to be away from the pool for a few days, or when you need to raise CYA a little. Regular daily use of tablets will drive your CYA too high over time. Use liquid chlorine for daily use.
