We got the large floater and use 3 tabs until it is where we want it and then adjust the holes down until it 'maintains'. Wish we found all this out at the beginning of the season! Our pool is a 16' x 48" round metal frame.

You have to place a chlorine floater in the pool and adjust it to accommodate the gallons in your pool. Keep the floater adjusted until the chlorine level is between 3-4ppm. You can do this buy using a dip test strip. You always want to maintain that chlorine level for proper sanitation. Use 1'' Chlorine tablets.

Invest in test strips. We use the Aqua Chem brand because Walmart carries it and our other pool supplies. You can go to Aqua Chem's website to online test your pool and they let you know how much of which chemical your pool needs. We also use a floater, but we have had to superchlorinate with the liquid at times.
