Does this last with frequent use in chlorine?

Sorry, I haven't had mine long enough to know. I've only used it a few times, so far. Dries quick.

Yes. I know someone who uses theirs 4 times a week for a couple years. Just at least rinse it real good after every swim in cold water an line dry.

Had same pool. 1-2 tabs per week along with chlorine tabs have done it for over 5 years. The arm n hammer makes the difference. Sometimes threw in some chlorine granules Always stayed clear. Def gotta vacuum n skim pool too

The documentation says it lasts six months. I live in Arizona and I put mine in right before swim season (end of May) and it lasts through the Summer. For year-round, I would replace it every six months. BTW, this does not cause you to skip your normal pool sanitizing. It only enhances it.

I have used this in both salt water and chlorinated water. I just rinse it with fresh water when done and fully extend it without locking any sections to let it dry.

It lasts a long time. We have it in our medical clinic and it is used by staff and patients. I agree with the theory that each squirt is equal to a teaspoon.

It's been a few years since I used it, but I think I began using this chlorinator when I had a quick set pool. To make sure, I Googled it and found the two sold together at several stores.

Yes, i think so - mine has held up very well in highly chlorinated water several times a week.

I put one in the skimmer or floater with the chlorine tablets ratio of 2 chlorine to 1 clear balance and replace evenly. MINE LASTS AT LEAST 1-2 WEEKS

I'm no chemist, so here is my unscientific answer: Yes, I'm sure it's fine. You know how you have to shake up the contents, anyway...I actually leave the bottle lying on it's side, on top of my bucket of chlorine tablets, each week, so that the sediment collects itself on the large side of the bottle rather than the smaller bottom...I'm just superstitious about shaking it up so that I get the same concentration of active ingredients each week I use it. A bottle lasts so long in my small pool! Best of luck. We're year round in California so we're going strong, and no freezing either. :-)

I haven't had any issues with chlorine, but I've only been in the pool half a dozen times. I hope this helps you somewhat. I do like the suit.

Every 6 months is the recommendation but I have seen them last longer depending on conditions of the water. No, it doesn't work great for iron. This works best for chlorine and such.

I have had it for almost a year and have not replaced it yet....if you keep it clean it lasts a long time depending upon how much its used.

I have used my kit for two seasons, from late April until late October, at least twice a week and I still have enough chemicals to last at least another season or more. It has really helped me keep my pool in the best of shape. I have had no problems with algae etc. in using this kit a couple of times a week.

yes, it's safe just don't leave it in the pool between cleanings, I'm only saying this because if the bristles are rusting like from the other comment it's most likely the chlorine is attacking the bristles from extended time in the water

My guess is that these are probably somewhat arbitrary claims as the lifespan of the filter is likely dependent on the chlorine content of the water, the hardness of the water etc. I'm no engineer but this probably works by chemical reaction of copper (in filter) and its capturing of chlorine molecules (and others?) somehow...the more chlorine you have, more copper neutralized in the process...? Anyway, I find my filters to last at least six months and seem to be effective for almost a year...

We use it so we don't have to use as much chlorine. There are times where we do add a little chlorine, but the spa is not maintained on chlorine all the time. Hope this helps.

It worked for me. 1st it will not replace chlorine just reduce dramatically the quantity you use. In my case I reduced about 2/3. Second it will not happen quickly , it took about 2 months for my pool to stabilize at these levels. Hope I helped.
