Maintain your pool’s clarity and cleanliness effortlessly with our high-performance pool chlorine tablets. Specially designed for easy use and lasting sanitation, these slow dissolving tablets make it simple to keep your pool water swim-ready and free of harmful bacteria. For hassle-free pool maintenance, pair them with chlorine dispensers and enjoy steady, reliable protection. Whether you use a floater, automatic feeder, or skimmer, our tablets help you confidently manage chlorine levels for a sparkling swimming pool.
How to Use Chlorine Tablets
Using chlorine tabs is one of the most effective strategies for maintaining optimal chlorine levels in pools. Here’s how to achieve reliable sanitation with minimal guesswork:
- Floating Dispensers: Among the most user-friendly and popular options. Load the correct amount of tablets into the floater, place it on the water’s surface, and allow it to conveniently distribute chlorine as it drifts across the pool.
- Automatic Feeders: For those seeking precise control, automatic feeders gradually release chlorine over time, ideal for pool owners who want to set and forget their chemical dosing.
- Skimmer Baskets: Placing tablets in your skimmer while the pump is operating ensures swift circulation throughout the pool. It’s best to reserve this method for times when your system is running consistently, as stagnant tablets can lead to liner or skimmer damage if left in standing water.
Stabilized Chlorine vs. Granules
Within our exclusive Aquamax brand, we offer two exceptional solutions to match your pool care needs:
- 3" Stabilized Chlorine Tablets: These tri chlor tablets dissolve slowly, making them perfect for long-lasting, even chlorination. They’re stabilized with cyanuric acid, so the active chlorine remains effective even in sunlight. This ensures your swimming pool is continuously protected from bacteria and algae while reducing the frequency of manual dosing.
- Chlorinating Granules: When your pool needs a quick boost—like after heavy use or a rainstorm—our fast-acting granules deliver immediate results. Ideal for weekly shocking or quickly increasing chlorine when needed, the granules are easy to apply and dissolve rapidly for prompt sanitizing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many chlorine tablets should I use in my pool?
For standard maintenance, place one 3" tablet per 5,000 gallons of pool water, typically adding fresh tablets every five to seven days, depending on use and temperature.
Can I put chlorine tablets directly into the pool?
Avoid placing tablets directly in the water, as this can cause surface staining or liner damage. Always use a floating dispenser, automatic feeder, or your pool’s skimmer while the pump is running for best results.
What’s the difference between stabilized and unstabilized chlorine?
Stabilized chlorine, used in our Aquamax tablets, is blended with cyanuric acid to defend against the sun’s UV rays. This means your pool water stays sanitized longer—especially important for outdoor swimming pools.
How long do chlorine tablets last?
Each slow dissolving 3" tablet will generally last five to seven days, influenced by factors like water temperature, bather load, and overall pool size. For longest shelf life, store your tablets in their original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry area.
Is it okay to swim while chlorine tablets are dissolving?
Absolutely. As long as your water’s chlorine levels remain between 1 and 3 ppm, your swimming pool is safe to enjoy—even while tablets are in use.
