I was at Walmart today and saw something new....
Cal-hypo extended release tablets for skimmers.

I've never seen cal-hypo in tablets, and I've seen references here that it was not available in tab form. I don't remember the exact concentration or %; I do remember it only said it contained Cal-hypo and inert ingredients.

Could one of these be put in a floater that was tethered in the area of the return stream, but away from the edge? As extra insurance while on vacation or whenever I can't be sure my SWCG is keeping up*

Thanks for the help...


*which happens every so often, for seemingly no real reason.... Well one good reason is that it's an Intex, so it's not adjustable, except for running time... but the problem is usually easily overcome with some bleach or cal-hypo powder, and then seems to disappear for a few weeks or a month ...Overall, a topic for a different post
