Simplify Pool Care with Floating Chlorinators

Keeping your pool water sanitized shouldn’t be complicated. A floating chlorinator provides one of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain proper chlorine levels without the need for expensive feeders or constant manual dosing. These devices float across the surface of your pool, slowly dispensing chlorine tablets to keep your water clean, clear, and safe for swimmers.
