Chlorine tablets (usually Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Tablets) are a common disinfectant for pool disinfection and are one of the more convenient methods. Unlike liquid or granular chlorine, chlorine tablets need to be placed in a float or feeder and will slowly dissolve over time.
Chlorine tablets can come in a variety of sizes, which can be customized according to your needs and the size of your pool dosing equipment. Typically 3 inch diameter, 1 inch thick 200g tablets. And TCCA already contains a chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid). It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the appropriate dosage based on the pool size. This information can usually be found on the product label.
Generally speaking, smaller pools require smaller tablets, while larger pools require larger tablets. It is also important to ensure that the tablets are properly loaded into the feeders or floats. Commonly available are 200g white tablets and 200g multifunctional tablets. (with slight algaecide and clarification functions). Multifunctional tablets generally contain aluminum sulfate (flocculation) and copper sulfate (algaecide), and the effective chlorine content is lower. Therefore, multifunctional tablets generally have some algaecide and flocculation effects. If you have a need in this regard, you can consider choosing TCCA multifunctional tablets.
In a swimming pool, the amount of agent required is calculated based on the size of the pool volume.
First, after determining the volume of the swimming pool, we need to consider the ppm number. the free chlorine content in swimming pool water is maintained in the range of 1-4 ppm.
In the use of swimming pools, it is not just the free chlorine content. The pH value, total alkalinity and other indicators of the swimming pool will also change. When adding agents, water quality indicators should be tested in time. Parameters such as pH value are key factors affecting water quality hygiene, safety, and cleanliness. According to the test results, adjust the water flow of the float or feeders to control the dissolution rate
Note
When using chlorine tablets, it is necessary to avoid mixing chlorine tablets of different brands and sizes. Chlorine tablets of different brands and sizes may contain different ingredients or concentrations. Different contact areas with water will result in different dissolution rates. If mixed, it is impossible to grasp the changes in the effective content in the swimming pool.
No matter which brand of chlorine tablets you choose, they generally contain up to 90% effective chlorine. And cyanuric acid will be produced after hydrolysis.
Once the tablets are dissolved in the pool water, this stabilizer will mitigate the degradation of hypochlorous acid in direct sunlight and UV rays.
When choosing chlorine tablets, be sure to carefully check the ingredients and tablet size. And make sure the chlorine tablets are in a sealed container or bucket. Some chlorine tablets also come individually packaged in containers.
If you are unsure which type or size of Chlorine Tablets is best for you, it is recommended that you consult a professional.
