Just to circle back - dump that tablet dispenser as fast as you can. Tablets add CYA, and the more there is, the higher your CL needs to be, until it gets to a level where you just can't add any more (cost/capacity/safety.). And then you have to drain the pool to reduce the CYA load. That may be a once a year chore in a year round climate! While yours is an "in line" version of the tablet dispenser that is better than the "off line" versions, the tabs are made with some to a lot of "paste" to keep them tablets - and that paste can quickly plug passages in the dispenser. An ongoing, maybe frequent, maintenance item. So no discount tablets for you, and even then the issue doesn't go away. Tablet dissolve rates are hard to judge, so it is hard to regulate the CL level in the pool. You'll have a many times higher chance of things going green on you. And, finally, there is the cost of a bucket of tabs bought a few times a year, vs essentially a one time ever cost of a load of salt bags....
Sorry for the rant. A 30+ year tablet guy who got religion a couple of years ago, who now deeply regrets his very poor past (pool) life choices....
