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 else can I help you with?
Can you split big Chlorine Tablets in half?
It's not recommended to split chlorine tablets in half as it may affect their effectiveness in disinfecting the pool water. The tablets are designed to dissolve at a specific rate to maintain proper chlorine levels. It's best to use them whole or consider using smaller tablets if needed.
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 deposit the chlorine tablets in a septic system?
DON'T!!! Septic systems require bacteria and enzymes to break down the waste. Chlorine tablets will kill the bacteria and destroy the enzymes. That's true for a traditional septic system. But some systems are really on-site waste treatment plants. After the septic tank the liquid flows through a sand filter which is populated by aerobic bacteria. After passing through the sand filter, the liquid is chlorinated and then discharged. In this type of system you do need chlorine tablets. And they have to be the right kind of tablets. DON'T use tablets designed for swimming pools! In my system there is a small black box next to the driveway. Inside that box are two white plastic tubes. That's where the chlorine tablets go. Your system may be different.
Can a Chlorine Tablet eat plastic?
YES... Depending on the type of plastic. But many brands of pool chlorine tablets are individually sealed in plastic when you buy them. However, even the plastic they wrap the tablets in isn't immune from the chlorine damage. Usually, the plastic tablet wrapping will remain sealed for about one swimming season. If you have tablets that were individually wrapped, purchased during last year's swim season, there's a strong likelihood that if you take a tablet out of the bucket now, you will find the plastic wrapping either no longer sealed, or brittle so when you try opening the plastic tablet wrapping, the plastic will simply crumble in your hands instead of being flexible like it was last year when you quit using the pool.
The different types of chlorine?
There are three main types of chlorine used for water treatment: chlorine gas, sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach), and calcium hypochlorite (solid form). Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, but all are effective at disinfecting water and killing harmful bacteria and pathogens.
Should chlorine tablets be used in place of stabilizer chlorine tablets so the cyanuric acid don't get to high?

How much is the average cost of chlorine tablets?
Chlorine tablets can range in price depending upon availability and locale. However most websites selling pool supplies price chlorine tablets around two to three dollars a pound.
Are all chlorine tablets stabilized how do you tell?
Not all chlorine tablets are stabilized. Stabilized chlorine tablets contain cyanuric acid, which helps protect the chlorine from being broken down by sunlight. You can tell if a chlorine tablet is stabilized by checking the label for the presence of cyanuric acid.
What happens to chlorine tablets if they get wet?
If chlorine tablets get wet, they will start to dissolve and release chlorine gas more quickly than intended. This can pose a safety hazard due to the rapid release of chlorine gas, which can be harmful if inhaled. It is essential to store chlorine tablets in a cool, dry place to prevent them from getting wet.

No, it's not recommended to put chlorine tablets directly in the skimmer. The tablets can damage the equipment and decrease the efficiency of the filter. It's best to use a floating chlorine dispenser or a designated chlorinator.
