Compatibility
- Do not mix with Calcium Hypochlorite or any other pool chemicals; doing so may cause fire, explosion, or toxic gas release.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
In hot southern climates, high UV exposure burns chlorine faster, but it also causes CYA to build up quickly if you rely solely on tabs. For optimal water balance, always maintain your pool within these ideal ranges: free chlorine 1–3 ppm, pH 7.2–7.6, total alkalinity 80–120 ppm, calcium hardness 200–400 ppm, cyanuric acid 30–50 ppm, salt 2700–3400 ppm. We recommend using these 3-inch tablets for baseline chlorination, but occasionally switching to a non-stabilized shock like Cal-Hypo to keep your cyanuric acid strictly within the ideal 30–50 ppm range.
Common Questions & Instructions
How many Poolife 3 inch chlorine tablets do I need for a 10,000 gallon pool?
The standard dosing is 1 to 2 tablets (approx. 7 to 14 oz) per 10,000 gallons of pool water weekly, or as needed to maintain a constant free chlorine residual of 1–3 ppm. Always test your water first to ensure pH is 7.2–7.6 and total alkalinity is 80–120 ppm.
Will Poolife 3 inch stabilized tablets raise my cyanuric acid (CYA) levels?
Yes, because these tablets are made of Trichloro-s-Triazinetrione, they introduce cyanuric acid into your water. We recommend keeping cyanuric acid levels between 30–50 ppm; if CYA exceeds this range, you may need to partially drain and refill your pool to prevent chlorine lock.
Can I mix Poolife 3 inch tablets with other types of chlorine in my feeder?
No. Mixing Trichloro-s-Triazinetrione with other chlorine types, particularly Calcium Hypochlorite, is highly dangerous and can cause a violent chemical reaction, fire, or explosion. Only use these tablets in a dedicated feeder or floater that has been thoroughly cleaned of other residues.
