Floating Chlorine Dispenser
Product Overview
A heavy-walled floating feeder engineered to prevent tablet chemical burns on vinyl and fiberglass surfaces.
Unlike thin-walled big-box floaters that crack after one season of intense UV exposure, the Simplified Pools Floating Chlorine Dispenser utilizes dense, chemical-resistant polypropylene designed to withstand continuous contact with trichlor or bromine tablets. The adjustable lower vent collar lets you regulate erosion rates across 1-inch and 3-inch pucks, providing steady sanitization without letting concentrated chlorine settle against delicate pool finishes.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Adjustable Flow Rate Collar
The twist-metering ring allows precision control over water circulation through the chamber, dialing in erosion rates for 1-inch or 3-inch tablets based on pool volume.
UV-Stabilized Polypropylene
Molded from heavy-duty, chemical-resistant resin to resist chalking, brittleness, and structural failure caused by direct sunlight and concentrated sanitizer contact.
Surface Protection
Keeps eroding tablets suspended on the surface rather than sitting directly on plaster, vinyl, or fiberglass, preventing localized chemical bleaching and liner pitting.
Compatibility
- Compatible with 1-inch and 3-inch trichlor chlorine tablets
- Compatible with 1-inch and 3-inch bromine tablets
- Safe for all pool and spa interior surfaces, including vinyl, fiberglass, plaster, and tile
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Never tether a floater directly in front of a return jet or near a skimmer mouth. The high flow pulls it under or forces accelerated erosion, causing a concentrated chemical plume to cycle straight into your pump and heater.
Common Questions & Instructions
Can you use bromine tablets in this floating chlorine dispenser?
Yes, this dispenser accommodates both standard 1-inch and 3-inch bromine tablets as well as trichlor chlorine pucks. However, you must never mix chlorine and bromine inside the same dispenser simultaneously or switch between them without thoroughly washing and neutralizing the unit first, as combining the two creates hazardous chemical reactions.
How many chlorine or bromine tablets can fit inside?
The internal chamber holds up to five standard 3-inch tablets or an equivalent volume of 1-inch tabs. Fill quantity depends on your target sanitizer level; most residential pools require two to three 3-inch tabs every 7 to 10 days during warm weather.
How often should a floating chemical dispenser be replaced?
A quality dispenser generally lasts 2 to 3 seasons. Inspect it each spring: if the plastic becomes chalky, develops hairline cracks, or the locking cap loosens, replace it immediately to prevent pucks from falling to the pool floor.
