BioGuard Trichlor Tablets

Yes, these 3-inch tablets are designed to work with standard pool floaters, skimmers, and most automatic chlorinators. Always check your specific equipment manual to ensure it is rated for trichlor tablets before adding them.

Unstabilized chlorine can break down rapidly when exposed to direct sunlight. The stabilized formula in these tablets resists UV degradation, meaning the chlorine remains active in your water for longer, providing more consistent protection against bacteria and algae.

The number of tablets depends on your pool's volume and your current chlorine levels. It is best to test your water first, then add tablets to your feeder or floater according to the dosage guidelines on the product label to maintain a consistent sanitization level.

While you can place them in the skimmer, be aware that this can cause a high concentration of chlorine to pass through your pump and filter system when the pump is running. Using a dedicated floater or an inline chlorinator is generally recommended to protect your pool equipment from potential corrosion.

Dissolution rates vary based on water temperature, flow rate, and the amount of sunlight your pool receives. Generally, a 3-inch tablet will dissolve over the course of several days to a week, but you should monitor your feeder regularly to ensure a steady supply.
