I’ve recently discovered the difference between stabilized and non-stabilized chlorine. Most of what’s out there is stabilized, sun protected chlorine. What’s the best kind of non-stabilized chlorine that will not raise my CYA levels?
The right chlorine tablet

There are compressed Cal Hypo tablets. They will raise your CH. No better here in the desert.
Liquid chlorine. Or a SWCG.

Well I’ve recently converted from SWCG to chlorine tablets. But the chlorine I’ve been using will slowly raise my CYA. I don’t have backwash capability, so liquid chlorine or Cal hypo are my only options? I’ve already got hard water. Will this be my new problem if I use Cal Hypo?

You do not want to use Cal Hypo. Unless you wish to drain every few months.
Why not use the SWCG? Best way to chlorinate here in the desert.

Was tired of cleaning the thing. Calcium built up inside it. Plus this house is about to be a rental property. Trying to simplify things for tenants. Why does Cal hypo require a drain every few months? Water gets too hard?

Your CH will skyrocket.
SWCG should not scale up. Means your pool water was not being properly managed in regards to CSI. I have never cleaned mine in 4 years. No scale.

Rental's need a swg or liquid clorine injection since the tenants will not take care of the pool

Thx guys. Really appreciate the help. Any suggestions on a liquid chlorine injector?
I have this one:

For the fixed pumps, you'll need a timer to turn the pump on and off a few times per day. These will add about 1 oz of chlorine per minute. I run mine 3X/day for about 15 minutes each time.
I fill the tank about once per month with 10% Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid pool shock from Walmart or Home Depot). Your pool is much smaller so you may not need to run it as much.
