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.

How often do you add chlorine?

We added an automatic chlorinator which has made life a little simpler--if you cannot do that we had floaters in our pool all the time with tablet chlorine & we have put tablets in the skimmer basket to quickly get the chlorine in the water.


Where do you put the chlorine at in your pool?

Chlorine can be added to a pool in a few different ways: directly into the skimmer, using a floating chlorine dispenser, or by applying it to the water surface. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific type of chlorine being used to ensure proper dosage. Regular testing of chlorine levels is also crucial for maintaining a safe and clean swimming environment.


How much liquid chlorine equals a 3 inch chlorine tablet?

There is no direct conversion between liquid chlorine and chlorine tablets because they come in different forms and concentrations. It's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how much liquid chlorine is needed to achieve the same sanitation level as a 3-inch chlorine tablet in your specific pool or spa.


Can you add chlorine straight in to a pool without a chlorine dispenser?

Sure you can use liquid chlorine and walk around the pool. You can use granular chlorine directly into the pool. If it doesn't disolve before it gets to the bottom you should brush it around so it won't stain. Never add pucks/tabs directly to the pool OR THE SKIMMER. (BAD FOR THE EQUIPMENT) They will sink to the bottom and stain.


How can you keep your chlorine levels up?

You can keep your chlorine levels up in your pool by regularly testing the water and adding chlorine as needed. Ensure the pH level is balanced first, as this affects the effectiveness of chlorine. Consider using stabilized chlorine products to prevent rapid dissipation from sunlight.

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.


Is placing chlorine tabs in the skimmer of an in-ground pool an effective method of maintaining proper chlorine levels?

yes, it is perfectly ok to put tabs in skimmer basket. +++ NO: it is NOT OK - unless the manufacturers of the particular skimmers, pumps and filters on your pool advise it is permissible. Buy either a proper in-line tablet feeder (it goes in the return pipe downstream from the filter) or floating basket-type tablet dispensers. The skimmers are NOT chemical dispensers.


Do you put chemicals in skimmer basket?

Most are OK if pool is running. NEVER leave chlorine tablets in skimmer baskets of in ground pools for any length of time. High concentrations of chlorine can damage underground lines. Get a chlorinator.


If you have a saltwater system that produces its own chlorine do you still need to have a chlorine tablet in the skimmer at all times like a standard system?

No you do not.The only chlorine you will use in a salt system is a shock.But even then you should use only a NON-Chlorine shock.And by the way Chlorine in your skimmer is a very bad Idea, The high concentration of chlorine going straight to your equipment (pump,heater,filter)will shorten it's life considerably.

Do you put the coleen blocks in the pool or the filter basket?

Chlorine tablets should be placed in a floating tablet dispenser and positioned in an area where the water flow will slowly dissolve the tablets (over a return jet). Never place in the skimmer box unless you want to fork out for a new pump every 2 years.


How do you clean a chlorine tablet basket?

Bleach


Do you put shock in pool water or pump?

Most chemicals for swimming pools are applied directly to the water, not through the skimmer. The only exception to this rule is stabilizer (cya) which is poured directly through the skimmer and is a slow dissolving product. Pouring granular chlorine directly into the skimmer can cause an explosion within the plumbing and equipment due to the gas it creates as it dissolves.


What is the best way to unclog a skimmer or a slow flowing skimmer?

Just put your hang in it and get all of the stuff out of it.


What are the advantages of using chlorine tablets as opposed to granulated chlorine in a swimming pool?

To disolve chlorine more gradual into the swimming pool it's better to use chlorine tables because the smaller surface of a tablet in comparison to a powder will make the tablet dissolve more slowly.


Can you break up a 3 in chlorine tablet to add to your pool?
