Can you swim in a pool with a chlorine tablet floater?
Yes, when using tablets they can be present in the water while you swim. Also confirm with a test of the chlorine level to be sure the sanitizer level is safe for swimming.
How many tablets are in a pool floater?
The best rule of thumb for pool owners trying to estimate how many tablets to add is this: Add one tablet for every 5,000 gallons of water and always round up. For example, if your pool has 21,000 gallons of water, add five tablets per week. If it has 8,000 gallons, use two tablets.

Can you put chlorine granules in a floating dispenser?

Why are my chlorine tablets not dissolving in floater?
Most often, if your chlorine tablets aren’t dissolving, it’s because there is something wrong with the chemical feeder. Most commonly, it’s because the chemical feeder is clogged up or dirty, so water isn’t reaching the tablets properly, and therefore they aren’t getting dissolved into the pool.
Do you leave chlorine floater in pool all the time?
Floating pool dispensers can be used in aboveground and inground pools, but make sure your pool manufacturer says it’s safe to use one. The chlorine floater must be removed from the water when people are in the pool.

You may need to adjust the bottom collar to allow more or less chlorine into the water. After two to four days, tether the dispenser to another area of the pool or allow it to float around without one. Replace the chlorine tablet once it dissolves.
Will cold water dissolve chlorine tablets?
The cold water, anything below 65°, has an impact on the ability of the chemicals to dissolve properly. I would recommend using liquid chlorine if you have to shock in lower temperatures. You can dissolve granular shock in warm water. Perhaps it will work if you completely dissolve it before adding it to the pool.

Can I use shock instead of chlorine tablets?
You do need to use both tabs and shock. Without tabs, the chlorine shock will dissipate quickly out of the water; without shock, the chlorine level will not get high enough to fully sanitize the water. You should aim to keep the chlorine level at between 1 and 3 ppm.

What happens if you don’t shock pool?
Try to reach the breakpoint every time you shock your pool. Not hitting the breakpoint can result in even more chloramines in your pool, and if the chloramine levels continue to rise unchecked, you may eventually have to partially or even fully replace your water to fix the issue.
How long after shock can I add chlorine?
It is critical to understand that using pool shock and algaecide together can cause bad chemical reactions if the necessary precautions are not taken. Since your chlorine levels will not return to normal right after you shock your pool, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours to add algaecide.
