Application rate and instructions:
INITIAL STARTUP:
Feeder or Floaters: Add 16 ounces (2 tablets) per 10,000 gallons of pool water to feeder or floater. Adjust the feeder or floater following manufacturer’s instructions to establish a free available chlorine level between 1–4 ppm. Allow water to circulate at least 4 hours and then test for the free available chlorine level.
Plastic Skimmer: Add 16 ounces (2 tablets) per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Place tablets in skimmer basket. Allow water to circulate at least 4 hours before testing. Test for the free available chlorine level adding more tablets as necessary to establish a free available chlorine level of 1–4 ppm.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
Add 16 ounces (2 tablets) per 10,000 gallons of pool water per week, or as often as needed, to the floater, feeder or skimmer to maintain a constant free available chlorine level of 1-4 ppm. Sunlight, rainfall, temperature, number of swimmers, and frequency of pool use affect the rate of chlorine residual loss so check the floater or feeder often and refill as needed
