PayPal Owners are chlorine tablets Destroying your pool. These slow dissolving tablets are a handy way to keep your chlorine levels up for a longer period of time, but they can also cause a whole bunch of problems if you don't watch your other chemical levels. Trichlore tablets are stabilized meaning they also contain cyanuric acid, and that means they can raise their Cya levels really quickly though. also erode plaster surfaces and vinyl liners if chlorinated water starts to collect in one area.
And finally, these tablets are acidic, which means they'll lower your pH So use TriCore tablets in moderation and test your water chemistry once a week and consider using an automatic chlorinator to help your tablet dissolve at a slow and steady rate. Follow us at Swim University for more pool care tips throughout the year.
Tabs are fine in moderation, don’t put them in the skimmer like they show in the video. Come on swim university you guys are supposed to be an accredited school
The automatic chlorinator is the way to go.
I just placed an order for a 5 lb bucket. Cancelled it. Thanks for saving me.
I made this mistake and noticed some of the pool rocks that were recently painted turning discolored under water. Upon checking the chemistry levels I noticed my pH under 6.8 along with a 20 ppm alkalinity. It’s all because of the chlorine tablets. I’m about to put 5 lbs of baking soda to fix the problem.
Maybe I should start using trichlor cause my pH and alkalinity are always increasing and I'm always fighting it down.
Very good in places with lots of rain
is it better to use these on above ground pools or just the stuff in the 1 gallon jugs ?
You just answered a question I was researching earlier about lowering the PH because they are acidic Service area Nepean??
Are there any non-stabalized tablets we can buy?
Salt destroys your pool. Are you in Barrhaven ?
We just got a new above ground pool liner. Our pool is just under 14,000 gallons. The package says two should be enough. Is it😂😂🤨🤷🏼♀️
In plaster pools the pH has a tendency to rise, so an acidic tablet is not a problem in that regard. Muriatic acid has to be added as well to keep pH within range.
CYA can be a factor in chlorine efficiency. The higher it gets, the more chlorine required.
This is a bigger issue in some areas than others, depending on rainfall. Pools that get lots of annual rain helps dilute the CYA.
Many pool owners in dryer climates avoid tablets and sodium-dichlor shock (also high in CYA). Are you in Ottawa ?
They LOWER or RAISE your pH? For swim reason I thought acidity addition would increase pH levels but I am genuinely asking for confirmation as I don’t know haha
