    Hi Janet,

    Not real sure of the volume, I confess I've just relied on what the box said--and it even said approximate. I will do some calculations tomorrow and come up with a better number.

    You're actually correct, the tablets are trichlor 1" tablets. I am also using a 5lb. jug of Kemtek dichlor that I purchased through the link to Amazon from here. Unfortunately, early last week I grew complacent and didn't check chemicals for several days, culminating in the weekend getaway. I knew full well I had no CYAs before I left (I had not used much of the trichlor or dichlor). Live and learn, some things even y'alls warnings can't prevent...

    Instead of running to the store this evening I just used more dichlor to bring the FC up to 18.5 (just tested) which I will presume is about right even though I haven't tested for CYA since adding my stabilizer a few hours ago.

    I intend to test a full suite in the morning to find out how the CYA I added actually took and where my FC stands after the evening. I have terrible squirrels in the trees that use the pool as a basketball hoop so the cover stays on unless we're in the pool.

    FWIW, the trichlor is probably a no-no, but I purchased it in a pinch while waiting on my Kemtek dichlor to arrive.

    Oh, one more thing...my little micro-pool is setup to add the tabs in the type-D filter, and I add chemicals in the other end of the pool.
