What size chlorine tabs does it use?? and how does it dispense them (all at once or intermittently)??

The unit accommodates 2, 3" chlorine tablets. They fit into the chlorine dispenser tray that slides out the side of the Solar-Breeze. As the unit moves around the pool, the water passes through the tray where the chlorine tablets are located and they dissolve over time. In this way the chemical is dispensed evenly throughout the pool. For those who use bromine, you can use bromine tablets and it will dispense them in the same way.

No. You don't place chlorine tabs directly in the filter. Place in a skimmer device and let them disolve as they float around the pool itself. These filters are just to catch the dirt that comes out of the pool and through the filter.

Yes it comes with the pump and filter. I use the small tablet chlorine. You can put it in a chlorine floater. Takes about 7 small tablets about every 4 or 5 days.

It would depend on the amount of chlorine tabs inserted into the dispenser...or ask your local pool store (e.g. pinch a penny)

I used a generic floating dispenser, for chlorine tables. My water is clear as day.

I put 4 tabs in a floater in the pool rather than in the filter. But....i do check the levels with a test kit to keep it correct. After the initial 4 tabs my pool usually takes 2 tablets. I have a lot of iron in my water and when the chlorine is added it turns the water a brownish yellow, so I run the pump for 24 hours before adding chemicals. Then I check the filter and if it's dirty I change it right off. The test strips are easy to use, just dip and check the strip. It will definitely take out the guess work. Hope this helps. I love my pool!

I've been using the CL220 and now the CL200 for decades on a 25,000 gallon pool. The control dial set at about 2 on the 1-10 scale and it uses less than three 3" tablets a week. Therefore, I would say that this should easily be able to dissolve enough tablets to chlorinate your pool and not require refilling for at least a week. If you have to restock it more often than is convenient, I would think you could put two units in parallel on the return line and take care of your needs for a lot less than $1,000. Hope this helps.

I use a floater similar to this Kem-Tek Pool Floating Tablet Dispenser My pool is around 8,500 gallons (above ground) and this method seems to work well with these tablets. Having an above ground pool, my only issue with using a floater is that it will often get stuck on the ladder. I run my pump about 7 hours a day on the low setting, and that seems to circulate the chlorine pretty well.

I tend to use much less with this. You do use some and I still shock occasionaly but my chlorine on the test strip is always minimum or less. Water is nice and clear and we generally use our tub twice a day.

The tops are not solid, they are two pieces with plastic tack welds...very easy to remove. What type of chlorine tablets will you use?

First off make sure you are using good quality stabilized tablets. The control flow setting will have to be adjusted according to the number of hours you run your pump each day. To achieve enough free available chlorine the setting will have to be higher if you only run your pump 8 hrs a day and lower if you run the pump 24/seven.

It depends on the size of the pool and what the chlorine measured when tested. I would not buy this chorine deapenser again. The only thing I still have is the cap that fit on my original dispenser after this one took on water and starting sinking. Cheap!

You put them in the chlorinator, which goes between the pump and the inlet of the pool, you put about 10 tablets in the chlorinator and run the pump about an hour per day to keep your chlorine level around 3

Yeah. For chlorine fill the tube to 10 ml, put in the powder (R-0870) and swirl to mix, then apply the drops (R-0871) until it turns clear, swirling in between drops. Multiply the number of drops it takes to turn clear by .5 and you have your ppm of FC.For pH, fill the tube to 44 ml and add 5 drops of the pH indicator (R-0004), cap the tube and invert, shake a little to mix. Match the color of the solution with the corresponding number/color and you have your pH. Simple, should take less than 5 minutes. I do this nearly every day.

Mix two tablespoons in a quart of warm ( not hot ) water. Use a plastic or glass container. NEVER,NEVER ever mix with bleach, it will form poisoness chlorine gass that in a close area can be fatal !!!................Uncle Sam

It's fine for any consumer size pool, just read the proper rate (number of tablets) for your size pool on the chlorine tablets you buy. But only use the Slow Release tablets (typically 1 inch or 3 inch tablets, not powder or 3/4 tabs).

You can easily put 4 or 5 tabs in at once. The top is closer to 9-10 inches in diameter.
