Pool Season Chlorinating Tablets

It is not recommended to place these tablets directly in your skimmer basket. The concentrated chlorine can damage your pool's plumbing and equipment over time; instead, use a floating dispenser or an automatic chlorinator as directed.

Stabilized chlorine contains cyanuric acid, which acts as a shield against the sun's UV rays. Without this stabilizer, the sun would break down your chlorine levels very quickly, making it much harder to keep your pool sanitized.

The number of tablets depends on your pool's volume and current chlorine demand. Start by testing your water to determine your baseline, then adjust the number of tablets in your feeder to maintain a consistent chlorine residual between 1 and 3 ppm.

These tablets are designed for standard floating dispensers and most automatic inline or offline chlorinators. Always check your feeder's manual to ensure it is compatible with 3-inch trichlor tablets before use.

Yes, it is best practice to wear gloves when handling these tablets. Although they are individually wrapped for easier handling, the concentrated chlorine can cause skin irritation or damage clothing if touched directly.

You should test your pool water at least twice a week during the swimming season. Regular testing ensures that your pH and chlorine levels remain in the proper range, which is critical for both water safety and the longevity of your pool equipment.
