Chlorine Tablets: The Hassle-Free Way to Keep Pool Water Clean

What Are Chlorine Tablets?
Chlorine tablets are compact blocks of stabilised chlorine, made from trichloroisocyanuric acid. Their stabilised form resists breakdown from the sun’s UV rays, making them ideal for Australia’s bright climate.
Unlike liquid or granular chlorine, these tablets dissolve slowly over several days, ensuring steady chlorine release to maintain balanced water chemistry and protect against bacteria and algae.
Easy to use, they can be placed in a floating dispenser, or automatic chlorinator, working continuously to save you time and effort.
Why Use Chlorine Tablets for Your Pool?
Chlorine tablets offer several benefits over other options:
Still wondering, are chlorine tablets better than granules or liquid chlorine? The answer often comes down to convenience and consistency: for regular, easy sanitising, tablets are tough to beat.
How to Use Chlorine Tablets Effectively
Here’s a simple guide to getting the most from your chlorine tablets:
Step-by-Step Guide:
Pick the right dispenser:
Use a floating dispenser or automatic chlorinator. Never place tablets directly on the pool floor or ledges to avoid fading or damage. Never place them in the skimmer basket either. The high concentration of chlorine that gets sucked into your pump and other pool equipment will cause damage over time.
Use the right amount:
Generally, add one 200g tablet per 20,000 litres of water weekly. Adjust based on pool size and test chlorine levels regularly with a pool test kit or test strips.
Check levels often:
Keep chlorine levels between 1–3 ppm for safe, clean water. Test weekly, or more often during heavy use or hot weather.
