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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your pH is high and chlorine is low?
To lower pH, you can add pH decreaser (such as sodium bisulfate) following manufacturer's instructions. To raise chlorine levels, you can add liquid chlorine or chlorine tablets according to the pool size and current chlorine levels. Retest after a few hours and adjust as needed.

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.

Skimmer sticks are the hardest compressed and slower dissolving.
