They just get weaker. Be careful to put them in a dry place with no a lot of humidity or they will give off a chlorine odor. Some tablets have the conditioner in them. If there is the conditioner can get stronger while the chlorine gets weaker thus giving your pool a cloudy look.

Which fish can survive in a chlorine pool?
Most fish can't, I don't think any fish can. One of the things you have to buy when you buy fish a petstore is tablets to nuetralize the chlorine or water that doesn't have chlorine in it.
How do you apply chlorine tablets?
Most chlorine tablets come in a floating "pod" commonly known as a floater. Also many stores sell small floating baskets which have removable lids. Once you remove the lid(usually screw-off), you just put the tablet inside, close it and throw it into the pool. Depending on the climate of your region, and the chemical balance of your pool's water (Ph, alkalinity and so forth), these chlorine tablets need only be replaced about once every week or two. Warmer regions require weekly replacement of tablets, as the chlorine is absorbed quickly by the sun. Colder climates, and the winter season require the changing of chlorine to be done at larger intervals. Every two to three weeks should be sufficient. An alternative option is to just leave the chlorine tablet in the pool's weir ( that hole where you plug the pool cleaner in), though this cause them to deplete at a faster rate ans commonly result in over-chlorination of the water, and sometimes red and burning eyes depending on the strenght of the tablets being used.
What is free chlorine in a pool?

When do you need to use chlorine tablets?
Chlorine tablets dissolve slowly and do a good job of maintaining chlorine levels. TriChlor (the most common type of chlorine tablets) are stabilized and have a low pH. As such, they partner well with liquid or granular chlorine, since both are generally unstabilized and have a high pH.Do not put chlorine tablets into a skimmer. They have a low pH that could damage pump seals and heaters. The damage is most pronounced when the pump restarts after the tablets have had a chance to dissolve for several hours and have lowered the pH in the water that is sitting in the skimmer. At this time, a couple of gallons of really low pH water will flow through the system.Floaters or inline dispensers are the best way to use tablets.

Where do you add the pH increaser and chlorine tablets in a vinyl pool?
You can add the increaser directly pool. The chlorine can be added in a couple different ways. Tablets can be used in a floating container or put in the skimmer basket. (I prefer the floating container. Granular chlorine can be added directly in the pool. Always make sure your pH is correct before you add any chlorine or you'll be wasting your money.
