To answer your question , the number of tablets depends on a lot of things and uses. If the pool is for private use, look on the container and you will get an approximate number of tablets to use. Then by testing the water every day you can add more or fewer tablets to achieve the level of chlorine that is most satisfying and comfortable to you and your family, usually 1.5 ppm for a household private pool and 2.0ppm for a hotel or country club pool.

Any thing larger and you should use a liquid chlorine which requires a whole other set of vats and pumps and a stricter monitoring of chlorine and pH levels which need to be recorded so an inspector from the town can view it at any time. To find out how many tablets to start off with you multiply length by width by approximate average depth which will give you approx. Gallons and number of tablets should be listed on container the chlorine came in.
