Thank you both for your input. I tried replying earlier, but it seems since I registered to this forum on my lap-top I wasn't able reply with my mobile device...or maybe I can and I'm doing something wrong ( which is likely the case). Either way, I'm grateful for the help. Your answers have confirmed what I've suspected all along...I need to start looking at other forms of chlorinators. I just needed to rule out the 3" tablets route. So I have read the FAQ's post which was very helpful and did answer many of my questions except for 2...can saltwater generators be used with commercial pools? and b/n saltwater generators and automated liquid chlorine systems, which one can I set and not worry about for a week while I go on vacation?
Chem geek, my CYA has been high so your "technical" explanation is helpful. So to clarify, using Trichlor tablets as one's main form of chlorine isn't recommended. So, if that's what your saying, how/why does one use Trichlor?
