Why would three-inch chlorine tablets in the pool canister barely be dissolving even though water is filling the canister and its piping looks unimpeded?

It really does not matter if the tablets are dissolving slow, Is what matters is the amount of Chlorine Ph and CYA in your pool. chlorine between 1.0-3.0 up to 5.0 O.K. when heavy use but adds dramatically to CYA PPM PH 7.2-7.6 CYA between 50-80 PPM Kenny Kummer 801-232-5893 Well there are two possibilities here the first and simplest is that the water is just too freakin cold. The colder the water the slower the tablets will dissolve. So where in the summer your tables would go in maybe 3 days when the water temperature is in the 50's it may take 2 weeks to dissolve. The other possibility is that the chlorinator is clogged where you cannot see it. In an off line chlorinator (where the water passes through a small tube tapped into the pipe. As the tubing gets older and the chlorine has a chance to oxidize it the inner diameter will be reduced in turn reducing the volume of water moving through the feeder and slowing the erosion. On an in line unit it can get clogged internally and you would not be able to access the problem. This is assuming you have a Hayward CL-200 in line or CL-220 off line unit. There are a lot of other manufactures of chlorinators that are all made differently so I would need to know the specific make and model to list other possible problems.

When halite dissolves in water what happens to the chlorine?
Dissolving sodium chloride in water, chlorine become a cation: NaCl---------Na+ + Cl-
If you have slow dissolving chlorine tablets do you have to wait until they're completely dissolved before swimming?
No.
What makes a pool liner brittle?
The sun and the chlorine are the worst things for a liner but there is not much you can do about that try dissolving the chlorine in a bucket of water before adding to pool it does help some but as i said there is not much to stop it.
Will the chlorine tablet you dropped into the pool not the filter canister put a hole in your liner?
Chemicals, especially chlorine, should not be allowed to sit on a pool's liner for any period of time. This will cause bleaching and could damage your liner.
Is dissolving salt in water chemical or physical change?
Dissolving salt in water is an example of a physical change. Although the ions of sodium and chlorine separate when the salt dissolves, no chemical reaction takes place.
What kind of change occurs when salt dissolves in water chemical or physical?
Dissolution, meaning dissolving into a liquid form. It is a chemical reaction that begins with water covering a corner of the salt. The corner chlorine starts to leave the crystal and water bonds form. As the chlorine leaves more water molecules are left behind. The chlorine becomes fully solvated then the salt does the same.
Is salt dissolves in water a physical or a chemical?
Dissolving salt in water is an example of a physical change. Although the ions of sodium and chlorine separate when the salt dissolves, no chemical reaction takes place.
How do you mix palladium metal and aqua regia to make palladium chloride?
Dissolving palladium (in powder form) in aqua regia (with some chlorine bubbling). Note that aqua regia is very corrosive and dangerous.
Is salt dissolved in water a chemical or physical change?
Dissolving salt in water is an example of a physical change. Although the ions of sodium and chlorine separate when the salt dissolves, no chemical reaction takes place.
What size chlorine tablet should you use for a 28000 gallon pool?
Depends on what the chlorine demand is for your pool. 1 inch tablets are not compressed as hard as 3 inch tabs and skimmer sticks. If your pool requires more chlorine you may want to use 1 inch tablets. If it has a low chlorine demand skimmer sticks may be all your need. Skimmer sticks are the hardest compressed and slower dissolving.
What element's atomic mass is 35.453?
Chlorine has an atomic mass of 35.453.
What type of element is salt water?
Nothing about salt water is an element. Water is the compound H2O (2 Hydrogens bonded with an Oxygen). Salt is the compound NaCl (Sodium and Chlorine bonded). Together they form a solution with the water dissolving the salt.
