Premium 3" Chlorine Tablets for Continuous Pool Care

Clean, sparkling pool water doesn’t just happen — it takes consistent, reliable sanitation. That’s why pool professionals and homeowners trust Applied Biochemists 3" Chlorine Tablets. These tablets use a stabilized trichlor formula. They release chlorine slowly and steadily. This keeps pools safe from harmful bacteria, algae, and other organic contaminants.

These tablets are great for automatic feeders, floaters, and skimmer baskets. They provide reliable daily cleaning, even in sunlight and with many swimmers. Whether you have a backyard pool or a busy commercial pool, Applied Biochemists 3" Tablets help keep your water clear and safe for swimming.

How Applied Biochemists Tablets Work

Each tablet is made with trichloro-s-triazinetrione, a stabilized form of chlorine. As it dissolves slowly in your feeder, floater, or skimmer, it releases free available chlorine (FAC) to sanitize water, kill bacteria, and oxidize contaminants. The stabilizer helps prevent chlorine burn-off from UV rays, making each dose more efficient and cost-effective.


Application Instructions

  1. Test pool water balance before use (pH 7.2–7.6, alkalinity 80–120 ppm, stabilizer 30–50 ppm).

  2. Place tablets in a floater, feeder, or skimmer basket.

  3. Maintain chlorine residual of 1–4 ppm at all times.

  4. Replace tablets as they dissolve to keep levels consistent.

Recommended dosage:

  • Use 1 tablet per 10,000 gallons of pool water per week, adjusting for sunlight, temperature, and bather load.

⚠️ Safety Tip: Never place tablets directly on pool surfaces, and never mix trichlor with other chlorine products like calcium hypochlorite.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How long does one tablet last?
A: Typically 5–7 days, depending on water temperature, pool size, and circulation.

Q: Can I use these tablets in a spa?
A: No. For spas and hot tubs, use 1" chlorine tablets for more precise dosing.

Q: Will these tablets raise cyanuric acid (CYA) levels?
A: Yes. Like all stabilized trichlor tablets, they add CYA over time. Test regularly and keep levels in the recommended 30–50 ppm range.

Q: Do these tablets work in automatic chlorinators?
A: Yes. They are designed for feeders, floaters, and skimmers, making them versatile for most setups.

Q: Can I use these with saltwater pools?
A: Yes, they can be used as a backup sanitizer during heavy loads or generator downtime, but they are not required if your salt system is working properly.
