Common Questions & Instructions
How do Poolife NST Prime Tablets prevent chlorine lock?
Unlike traditional trichlor tablets, Poolife NST Prime contains 70.2% Calcium Hypochlorite, introducing zero cyanuric acid or stabilizer to the water to keep free chlorine active at 1–3 ppm.
What is the standard dosing for this 4.5 lbs pail?
With total alkalinity balanced to 80–120 ppm and pH at 7.2–7.6, add approximately 1 tablet per 10,000 gallons weekly to maintain free chlorine between 1–3 ppm.
Can I mix Calcium Hypochlorite NST Prime tablets with standard trichlor tabs?
Never mix Calcium Hypochlorite tablets with trichlor or dichlor in the same feeder or skimmer, as combining different chlorine chemistries poses an immediate safety hazard.
