Valterra - Floating Chlorine Feeder

Great idea just be careful not to stack the tabs one on top of the other. I recommend off setting them inside the unit. On the second morning with it in my pool, I could see that it was on it's side. I rearranged and it was fine since.

I live in the Phoenix valley area so this this thing gets hammered by the sun and heat but isn't that's what it's designed for? The top cap is literally disinengrating and close to failing. They don't sell the cap separately so in the trash it goes.
The sad thing is, this replaced an $8 floater purchased at Wally world that lasted us for a good 3-4 years and regardless of the pop-up feature, I checked it weekly anyways when I checked my chemicals and cleaned the pool.
Do you REALLY NEED this thing? Are we really this lazy that we can't take 1 minute to check the floater? That's basically what it boils down to people. God bless.

Every couple of days it turns upside down, comes apart and dumps the tablets out. I have to try to fish them out of the bottom of the pool. I have even added a rock to try to stabilize it, but it didn't help. This never happened with the standard chlorine feeder (without the easy tell indicator). I may try to attach a cord to it somehow and anchor it to the side of the pool, but that's the only option I see that might work.
