Product Information
Full details
This guide is for swimming pool and hot tub owners seeking a simplified water maintenance solution. The Deep Blue Pro Chlorine Tablets offer a convenient all-in-one approach to sanitization, clarification, and algae prevention, reducing the need for multiple products. A potential caveat is the slow-release nature, which requires consistent monitoring to maintain optimal chlorine levels.

FAQs
How often should I add new tablets?
The tablets are slow-release and typically last around 3-4 days, depending on water flow and temperature. Check your free chlorine levels regularly and add new tablets as needed to maintain the recommended range.
Can I use these tablets in a saltwater pool?
Yes, these tablets can generally be used in saltwater pools. However, always follow your pool system's manufacturer guidelines for using combined chemical treatments.
What is the ideal pH range for these tablets to work effectively?
The tablets work best when the water pH is maintained between 7.2 and 7.6. Always test and adjust your pH before adding chlorine tablets.
What is the difference between the chlorine level for a hot tub and a swimming pool?
The recommended free chlorine residual for hot tubs is higher, typically 3-5 mg/l (ppm), due to higher water temperatures and potential for more concentrated use. For swimming pools, the recommended range is 1-3 mg/l (ppm).
How do I perform an initial 'shock' dose for a new hot tub fill?
For freshly filled hot tubs, a higher initial dose is recommended. Use 50mg/l (ppm) for 1 hour or 20mg/l (ppm) for 2 hours. These tablets are for regular dosing; a separate shock treatment might be needed for this initial step.
Can I put the tablets directly into the pool or hot tub?
No, tablets should not be placed directly onto pool or hot tub surfaces as they can cause damage or discoloration. Always use a floating dispenser, chemical feeder, or skimmer basket.
How do the combined ingredients benefit my water?
The combined formula provides stabilized chlorine for sanitization, a clarifier to prevent cloudiness, and an algaecide to stop algae growth, offering a comprehensive and convenient water treatment solution.
Troubleshooting
Water remains cloudy
Ensure pH is correctly balanced (7.2-7.6). Check that the clarifier component is effective and consider increasing water circulation. If cloudiness persists, a separate clarifier product might be needed.
Algae growth is visible
Test and adjust pH. Ensure adequate chlorine levels are maintained (1-3 ppm for pools, 3-5 ppm for hot tubs). Shock treat the water if necessary and brush affected areas. Ensure the algaecide is being consistently dosed.
Chlorine levels are too low
Verify tablets are dissolving correctly. Increase the number of tablets or frequency of addition. Check for excessive water usage or environmental factors (e.g., heavy bather load, high temperatures, direct sunlight) that may deplete chlorine faster.
Tablets dissolve too quickly
Reduce the number of tablets in the dispenser or check water flow. Ensure the dispenser is not placed where water flow is excessively high. In very hot weather or with heavy use, faster dissolution is expected.
Tablets do not dissolve
Ensure the dispenser or skimmer basket is not clogged. Check that the tablet is not obstructed. Verify water is circulating adequately over the tablets.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simplifies water maintenance by combining three essential treatments into one product.
- Provides long-lasting sanitization due to stabilized chlorine and slow-release formula.
- Effectively combats bacteria, prevents cloudiness, and stops algae growth.
- Can be used in various types of pool and hot tub dispensing systems.
- Offers a convenient way to maintain safe and clear water with less effort.
Cons
- Requires regular application to maintain optimal chlorine levels, as slow-release can vary.
- Initial shock dosage is recommended for freshly filled hot tubs.
- Effectiveness and dissolution rate can be influenced by water flow and temperature.
- While minimal, pH adjustments may still be occasionally necessary for ideal conditions.
- Not suitable for very rapid chlorine boosting needs.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These multifunctional chlorine tablets are designed for ease of use and compatibility with standard pool and hot tub equipment. Always ensure you follow the recommended dosage and application frequency for your specific water volume and usage.
Getting Started:
- Test Water Chemistry: Before introducing tablets, test your water's pH. Ensure it is within the ideal range of 7.2 – 7.6. Adjust with appropriate pH increaser or decreaser products if necessary, as optimal pH is crucial for chlorine effectiveness.
- Select Application Method: Choose your preferred method: a floating dispenser, an in-line chemical feeder, or a skimmer basket.
- Add Tablets: Place the recommended number of tablets into your chosen device. Avoid direct contact with pool or hot tub surfaces, as this can cause damage or discoloration.
- Maintain Chlorine Levels: Regularly test free chlorine residuals. Aim for 1-3 mg/l (ppm) for swimming pools and 3-5 mg/l (ppm) for hot tubs. Replenish tablets as they dissolve.
Compatibility:
These tablets are compatible with most standard swimming pool and hot tub systems, including those with skimmer baskets, floating dispensers, and automatic chemical feeders. They are also suitable for use with saltwater pools, but always follow manufacturer guidelines for combined chemical use.
Care & Storage:
- Store tablets in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials like acids or other pool chemicals.
- Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
- Handle with dry hands and avoid inhaling dust.
- Clean your dispenser or skimmer basket regularly to ensure proper function.
