i've recently gone the route of adding cya and once it's done, it's really not a big deal (and even doing that is minor task) i've found that pucks don't seem to do a heck of a lot to stabilize the chlorine..even the expensive bioguard sticks which are supposed to last longer..they do, but they don't do a very good job of increasing the chlorine.
