I won't "bet the farm" on it, but I'd assume that any Tri-Chlor product that is 99% Tri-chlor doesn't have a copper component, despite the word "blue". I believe, when Copper is in the Tri-chlor tabs, "Other ingredients" are around 7% or more, not 1%.

How is your new pool doing? Are you enjoying your Taylor kit? What part of Illinois are you from?

Things are going well...thanks! I do have a question regarding rain. We've gotten ALOT of rain over the past two weeks. Anything I should worry about regarding too much rain water in the pool? Is it ok that the water level is to the max?

Rain sometimes will drop your pH. If your water is to the top of the skimmer, lower it a little or else your skimmer won't be able to work.
