Can you put a chlorine tablet in the skimmer?

Yes...I found that if you keep your chlorine a bit high in your pool it will stay clear...and by putting the tablets in the skimmer it just helps by releasing the chlorine.

DO NOT PERFORM THIS ACT!!! Chlorine tablets, or just chlorine in general, is HIGHLY TOXIC in high amounts!! You will get chlorine poisoning, your tongue may fall off, and you could possibly die if enough chlorine is introduced into your system.


Are chlorine tablets good for pool?

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.

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.

Fresh water pool that you are thinking of converting to a Salt Water system your neighbors tell you that they have little or no maintenance with their Salt system?

I have a fresh water pool that I am thinking of converting to a Salt Water system. My neighbors tell me that they have little or no maintenance with their Salt system. The question I have is if I convert to a salt system why do I have to spend $1,000 on a Chlorine Generator.? If I add the salt, to change the softness and control the Algae then instead of purchasing a Chlorine Generator and paying the electricity costs why don't I just use my present automatic chlorinator with Chlorine Tablets? After a process called electrolysis is using the box of electronics breaks down the salt in the salt water In a salt system the electronic box is connected to the electrodes in the "Cell". So my point is that instead of generating chlorine from salt why don't I just add it like I don now with my fresh water system..


Can you use regular milk instead butter milk in a cake?

How long should you wait after putting chlorine in a pool before you can swim?

If you are talking about just chlorine tablets, there isn't a wait time. For most shocks it is at least 8 hours or until the chlorine comes down to a normal level of 1-3 ppm. For some shocks it is only 15 minutes, but they could also raise the chlorine too high to enter that quickly. You would need to check the water before re-entry.
