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.
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.
It's recommended but I have swam with it in the pool for hours at a time, on a daily basis, no problem. But it would be nice to not have to confront it every time you turn around. Oh now I remember, the chlorine in the water also gave me streaked hair, (I'm blonde with brunette parts) people were asking me left and right if I went to the saloon, I told them it was the pool. It also dried out my skin but at the time I didn't use lotion so that could be fixed.
Chlorine is an element, Cl on the Periodic Table. So, What does chlorine mean? It is the proper name of the element, Chlorine. It is often used for sanitizing water, as it kills small microbes (harmful and otherwise). With respect to Swimming Pools, it comes in various forms: Tablet Chlorine (Usually Trichlor) Liquid Shock (Sodium Hypochlorite: Chlorine gas suspended in salt water) and Granular shock (can be either Calcium Hypochlorite, or Sodium Dichlor, most commonly)
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.
Chlorine's mass number is 35.5. This is an average value due to the presence of two isotopes of chlorine, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37, in nature.

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.
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.
The number of gallons of water that one chlorine tablet can treat varies depending on the tablet's concentration and the amount of water being treated. However, typically one chlorine tablet can treat around 500 gallons of water. It is important to carefully follow the instructions on the product packaging for accurate dosing.
Don't crush the tablet, place the whole tablet in a floater and let it dissolve gradually. Hatawa
It dissolves slowly but surely, it will mix when you put your filter on!
Chlorine tablets typically contain around 90% active chlorine. The amount of chlorine in a tablet can vary depending on the size and brand, but a common concentration is around 3 inches in diameter and can contain approximately 2.5 ounces of chlorine.
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.
As long as you keep your pH and your chlorine at the proper level it should not matter what technique you use.
Salt chlorine generators use about 500kw. Tablet in-line feeders use none. They're just plumbed so the water passes through them during normal circulation.
Yes, it can be harmful if a dog licks a chlorine tablet as it contains toxic chemicals that can irritate the mouth, throat, and digestive system of the dog. It can also cause symptoms such as drooling, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. It is important to seek veterinary help immediately if a dog ingests a chlorine tablet.
