Hi edlentz ,
It doesnt matter where the CL comes from. THats exactly why 99.999% of everyone here uses bleach.
Bleach is sodium hypochlorite with a 6% strength . Liquid chlorine sold at pool stores is sodium hypochlorite at 12% . Same stuff, different strength but usually cheaper and more convenient at the grocery store.
I would recommend not using the tabs/pucks for your pool. There is more potential harm from them than bleach. Since they are in a concentrated form , they must be kept in the floater, otherwise it could harm your pool. They are acidic , lowering the ph of the pool. And they put CYA (cyanuric acid = stabilizer) into the pool. CYA is a good thing thats needed in pools , but too much of it is Not good.
Other then that, welcome to the forum, if you havent already ,check out Poolsolutions , the main site for the forum, along with all the STicky posts here . THeres a load of info on using Bleach , Baking Soda , Borax
