Long-Lasting Chlorine Tablets for Crystal-Clear, Safe Pool Water

Keep your pool water sparkling clean and algae-free with Applied Biochemists 3" Chlorine Tablets, a premium, stabilized pool sanitizer engineered for consistent disinfection and long-lasting performance. Formulated with trichloro-s-triazinetrione (Trichlor), each slow-dissolving tablet delivers a steady supply of chlorine to destroy bacteria, control algae, and maintain clear, healthy water in both residential and commercial pools.

Designed to resist sunlight degradation, these tablets are stabilized with cyanuric acid to preserve chlorine levels and extend sanitizer effectiveness, even under intense sunlight or heavy bather loads.

Whether you use a floater, chlorinator, or skimmer feeder, Applied Biochemists 3" Chlorine Tablets provide professional-grade water sanitization with less maintenance and fewer chemical adjustments.


Professional-Grade Water Sanitation

Applied Biochemists is known for producing professional-quality pool chemicals trusted by service technicians nationwide. These 3-inch stabilized chlorine tablets are carefully compressed to dissolve slowly and evenly, ensuring a continuous chlorine release that maintains optimal water chemistry without spikes or drops.

Key Benefits

  • 3-inch slow-dissolving tablets for steady chlorine output.

  • Kills bacteria, viruses, and algae for safe, clean water.

  • Stabilized with cyanuric acid to resist chlorine burn-off from sunlight.

  • High chlorine concentration (90% available chlorine).

  • Compatible with all pool types and chlorinators.

  • Long-lasting, residue-free performance.

Perfect for pool owners who want reliable sanitizing power without daily dosing or frequent testing fluctuations.


Stabilized Formula for UV Protection

Ordinary chlorine loses potency quickly in sunlight—up to 90% in just a few hours. The Applied Biochemists 3" Chlorine Tablets contain a built-in stabilizer (cyanuric acid) that protects the chlorine molecule from UV degradation.

This ensures that your sanitizer remains effective longer, reducing chemical waste and keeping water balanced throughout the day.

Why Stabilized Chlorine Matters

  • Saves money by reducing chlorine loss to sunlight.

  • Maintains consistent sanitizer levels between applications.

  • Prevents frequent shocking due to sanitizer depletion.

  • Keeps water clear and bacteria-free even in direct sun exposure.

With each tablet, you’re getting protection that works around the clock.


Safe and Effective for All Pool Types

These 3-inch chlorine tablets are safe for use in in-ground and above-ground pools, saltwater systems, spas, and commercial facilities. The dense, slow-dissolving design ensures even distribution and minimal residue in all pool environments.

Note: Avoid direct contact with vinyl liners or painted surfaces to prevent bleaching.


How to Use Applied Biochemists 3" Chlorine Tablets

Using Applied Biochemists Chlorine Tablets is simple and efficient, requiring only minor weekly adjustments.

For Automatic Feeders or Chlorinators

  1. Fill the feeder with the recommended number of tablets based on pool volume.

  2. Adjust the flow rate to maintain a chlorine residual of 1–3 ppm.

  3. Check chlorine and pH levels twice per week and adjust as needed.

For Floating Dispensers

  1. Add 1 tablet per 10,000 gallons of pool water.

  2. Refill the floater as tablets dissolve, usually every 5–7 days.

For Skimmer Application (short-term use)

  1. Place 1 tablet directly in the skimmer basket while the pump is running.

  2. Remove any remaining fragments before shutting off circulation to prevent high local chlorine concentration.

Always test your water frequently using a reliable test kit to maintain balanced chemistry.


Balanced Chemistry for Healthier Water

Applied Biochemists 3" Tablets not only sanitize but also help stabilize your water chemistry when used properly. Combined with regular filtration, pH adjustment, and shock treatment, they form the cornerstone of an effective pool care regimen.

Ideal Pool Chemistry Levels

Parameter Ideal Range
Chlorine (Free Available) 1.0 – 3.0 ppm
pH 7.2 – 7.6
Total Alkalinity 80 – 120 ppm
Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer) 30 – 50 ppm
Calcium Hardness 200 – 400 ppm

Maintaining these levels ensures your chlorine remains effective, your pool surfaces are protected, and your water stays crystal-clear.


Long-Lasting, Economical Sanitization

Because Applied Biochemists Chlorine Tablets dissolve slowly and steadily, they provide continuous sanitation for up to a week per application (depending on water temperature, bather load, and circulation).

This efficiency means fewer chemical additions, less testing, and better cost control throughout the swim season—ideal for both private homeowners and commercial pool operators.
