Hey I am with you. But since we have an indoor pool we need no stabilizer so I use liquid all the time. Not that it is a big deal, but sometimes even I forget to add some or we get a leaky swimmer and poof, no CL. With a floater it would likely be less of an issue. We do drop in a floater when we are going to be gone and know some relatives might stop over and use the pool, just to be safe, either that or get it up to 10 of free CL before we leave.
