Routine sanitizing with slow-dissolving chlorine
These tablets dissolve slowly to help maintain steady chlorine levels and provide extended protection. Test your water regularly and add tablets as needed to maintain 1–4 ppm of free available chlorine.

Important Compatibility and Safety Notes
Application and Compatibility Notes
Use in a chlorine feeder, floating dispenser, or skimmer basket as directed on the container label. Do not place tablets directly on pool surfaces; prolonged contact may cause bleaching or damage, especially to vinyl or plaster. Never mix different types of chlorine tablets. Trichlor is slightly acidic and may gradually lower pool pH, so test and balance the water regularly. For saltwater pools, the product information says to monitor cyanuric acid levels over time.
