2 min read

Consistent chlorination helps keep your pool water clean, clear, and sanitized throughout the swimming season. WATER TRENDS 3-Inch Chlor Tabs are designed to dissolve slowly over time for a steady release of chlorine when used with a chlorine dispenser. In this tutorial, The Great Escape shows you how many tablets to use, how to properly add them to your dispenser, and the important handling precautions to follow.



Key Takeaways:
  • Wear protective gloves and add 1 WATER TRENDS 3-Inch Chlor Tab to a chlorine dispenser for every 10,000 gallons of pool water.

  • Check your dispenser regularly because warmer water may cause the tablets to dissolve more quickly.

  • Never place tablets directly into the pool, pre-dissolve them, allow them to contact plastic or metal components, or mix them with other pool chemicals.


Step-by-Step Process:
  1. Put on a pair of protective gloves before handling the chlorine tablets.

  2. Determine your pool’s water capacity to calculate how many tablets you’ll need.

  3. Add 1 WATER TRENDS 3-Inch Chlor Tab to your chlorine dispenser for every 10,000 gallons of pool water.

  4. Allow the tablets to dissolve gradually inside the dispenser for a consistent release of chlorine.

  5. Check the dispenser regularly and refill it as needed. Remember that warmer water may cause the tablets to dissolve more quickly.

  6. Never throw chlorine tablets directly into the pool, where they may damage the liner or other surfaces.

  7. Do not allow the tablets to come into direct contact with plastic or metal components.

  8. Never mix the chlorine tablets with other pool chemicals.

  9. Do not pre-dissolve the tablets. The chlorine dispenser is designed to regulate the rate at which chlorine is released into the pool.
