Seapup wrote: The scientific magregor manual "drop in a few pool tablets to prevent a bad case of algae" sounded to me like it was tested right after they measured 24mph with a 50hp.

One 3" tablet treats 10,000 gallons. So a few may be a bit overkill :D
I use the 1" tabs. Bought a jug of them and it's probably a lifetime supply. Even at 1" they still need to be broken to fit through the hole.

How often do you put in the 1 inch chlorine tablets? How many?
