So from the reading I've done, is it accurately to conclude that the folks here highly recommend against the chlorine tablets in the floatie?

Yes. If you plug your pool size in at the top, then scroll waaaay down to Effects of Adding Chemicals, you can see what each 8 oz puck will do to your pool chemistry.tmnt25 said:I like to take my cya up from 20 to 30...could I do this with pucks? Do we know the numerical effect pucks have on cya?
you can buy conditioner/stabalizer and add a a little bit in a sock, then hang said sock in front of a return jet. Did this myself when I drained a month or so agotmnt25 said:I like to take my cya up from 20 to 30...could I do this with pucks? Do we know the numerical effect pucks have on cya?
jblizzle said:Most pucks are trichlor that add CYA. There are some that are cal-hypo which add calcium, but they dissolve too fast and are not very common.

What do the rest of your tests look like? Sometimes the CYA is broken down by bacteria over the winter (not that you really have a winter).
And how are you testing?
