You didn't ask, but I'm advising you anyway. Read up on chlorination on this forum and on its sister site poolsolutions.com. This ultimately is a recipe for algae. The pucks in the floater quickly will increase your stabilizer to very high levels, and the higher the stabilizer level, the higher level of chlorine you need to keep your water sanitized.
