Boost Chlorine

Chlorine sanitizes your pool to remove bacteria and other hazardous contaminants to keep water clean. Use HTH Super Shock! Treatment to restore chlorine levels that have been depleted by the sun, rain and heavy use.

Kill Bacteria & Algae

Low chlorine levels, poor water circulation and warm weather can encourage bacteria and algae growth. Rid your pool of black algae, mustard algae and green algae and prevent regrowth by shocking your pool once a week. Don’t forget to brush the floor and walls of the pool.

Keep Water Clear

The fast-dissolving formula found in HTH shock treatments acts quickly to restore clarity to your water so you can be back in the swimming pool within 24 hours. Plus, the treatment won’t overstabilize your pool or fade your liners.

Test pH Levels

Dip an HTH Multi-purpose 6-Way Test Strip (sold separately) into the water to measure total alkalinity, pH, free available chlorine (FAC), calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid (CYA) or stabilizer. Balance water, and adjust alkalinity and pH levels, where applicable.

2. Apply Directly to Water

Before handling any chemicals, put on protective gloves and goggles. During evening hours and with the pump running, broadcast the HTH Super Shock! Treatment evenly over a wide area in the deepest part of your pool.

3. Wait & Test Chlorine Levels

If granules settle along the bottom of the pool, use a brush to disperse until granules are dissolved. Once free available chlorine levels are between 1 and 4 parts per million, your pool is ready to use again.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why would these cleaning tablets be recommended for a 14x36 pool that only holds 2,400 gallons
Answer:	We are the manufacturer of HTH Super 3" Chlorinating Tablets and these are for pools of 10,000 gallons or more. For a 2,400 gallon pool we would recommend our HTH 1" Chlorinating Tablets. If you have any questions please contact us at 866-484-7665.
Question:	Is this gonna blow up if I take it out of the pool, ppm is off the scale >10 and manufacturer is not answering their phone
Answer:	No, the tablets do not 'blow up' when removed from water. If you're getting a high ppm reading you may be using too many tablets for your pool's size. Our pool is approximately 28,000 gallons, and we use two tablets in a floating container/distributor. We augment the tablets with once-a-week shock. If we have to add water (we live in the Florida Keys), or get a lot of rain we'll adjust the chemicals accordingly. Also, be sure you're running your pump and filter at least 8 hours a day for dispersal of chemicals.
Question:	We just bought a 15 ft, 33 inch fast set pool. What would be the best to use
Answer:	We are the manufacturer of HTH Super 3" Chlorinating Tablets and one of these tablets is for 10,000 gallons of water. For your size pool we recommend our HTH 1" Chlorinating Tablets. If you have any more questions please call us at 866-484-7665.
Question:	My chlorine is really low, the ph and alkaline are high. What do I add
Answer:	We are the manufacturer of HTH Super 3" chlorinating tablets. If your alkalinity and pH are too high you will need to adjust those by using HTH pH Down or Decreaser. For more information please call us at 866-484-7665 and we will be happy to help.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it turn the water BLUE,,, that is what I wont in my pool,,,Blue water
Answer:	it clears the water of any cloudiness. it does not turn the water blue. pool water will always reflect the color of your liner.
Question:	Will this work without shocking first
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Exactly what chemicals are in this product? Do I use it in addition to shock, muriatic acid, algecide.... or instead of
Answer:	This is not a product that replaces ANY pool chemical treatment. You still need your chlorine or other sanitizer, muriatic acid, CYA, Borax, algaecide, shock, etc. as usual. This enhances your usual maintenance chemicals. It does a great job of what I call clumping up small dust/dirt particles making it easier for the filter to remove them. It will not “turn you water blue,” but it does make the water crystal clear, and makes it sparkle. If you happen to have a liner with lots of blue in the pattern, it will make the water “appear” to be bluer, but all it does is remove fine particles, & makes the water crystal clear. I use it once a week, and dose after heavy rains. I’ve used it for 20 years, have tried others, but always come back to this.
Question:	I have an Intex Metal Frame Pool with a Saltwater Pump and Filter System. Will this product work with that type of set up
Answer:	Yes it stated on the bottle that it will work salt, and all types of filters/pumps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Every week I have to add acid to my pool to decease the pH. Will these tablets keep the pH from increasing
Answer:	It is 86% baking soda, which will increase you pH. I would discontinue using a chemical that reduces your pH unless you are trying to raise pH. Pools only need three chemicals: Chlorine, Clorine stabilizer (CYA) NO more then 30ppm, and muriatic acid. Boric acid can be used to stabilize your pH as well, which will raise you pH, but as it is an acid not as much as baking soda will.
Question:	Can i just drop the tablets in my pool or do i have to use a dispenser? i only have one dispenser that i put the cholorine tabs in. we have an 18x
Answer:	It's baking soda. It's technically one of the chemicals that is fine to drop in the pool. I would just assist it with a brush maybe.
Question:	Can you use this with a saltwater system
Answer:	The directions on the container say "use with your chlorine"... That being said, I don't know if they are compatible/useful in a saltwater system.
Question:	Is this jut baking soda
Answer:	The product is mostly baking soda with water clarifier added in. The product does 3 things: increases pH, increases Alkalinity and adds clarifier to your pool water. I use this product with my outdoor pool which holds about 28,000 gallon and have been very happy with it. I add about 1 tablet of this per 4 tablets of 3 inch chlorine tablets that I put into my chlorinator. If you monitor your pool chemistry you could also periodically just add a tablet(s) when your pH and Alkalinity levels get low in your pool.

User questions & answers

Question:	This is a rip off walmart sells for $7.00. Same stuff. What does amazon cjarge so mich for the same product

Answer:	Hi Josie, We are the manufacturer of Clorox Pool and Spa products. You can wait 15 minutes before swimming. If you have any other questions or concerns, please give us a call at 1-800-SOS-POOL.
Question:	Does this kill all types of algae

Question:	Is this for more than 1? If so why does Walmart sell it for
Answer:	This is a more dilute / lower concentration of an algecide more often sold for home delivery at 60% concentration. The lower concentration makes it easier to measure a preventive or maintainance dose for an above ground backyard pool that might need 1 1/4 oz of a 60% poly-sim algecide. Difficulty measuring the higher concentration chemicals can result in over-dosed pools and adverse reactions in swimmers. Mass market retailers have been selling lower concentration chemicals for small pools and spas since the late 1960’s. The extra gallon of water is bulky and heavy to warehouse and ship and isn’t an ideal product for a home delivery marketing channel. As of late March 2018 the WalMart price happens to be $10, but it isn’t “pool season” in most places so that may be more of a placeholder than a 2018 price.
Question:	How tall is the bucket
Answer:	Your question seemed odd but did get me to measure the bucket! Exactly 18 3/8". Hope that helps. BTW, it is a fine product.
Question:	were do you put the tablets
Answer:	Just a comment, I'm no expert, but I have had my 39x22 foot in ground pool for 25 years this year. My skimmer became brittle after about 20 years of use putting 3-4, 3 inch tablets in the skimmer, hardly anything to worry about after 20 years. Also, I get that the chlorine sitting there when the pump is not running can concentrate the chlorine and yes the water does go into your pool filter but the initial corrosive water is not sitting in the filter it gets pumped right back out into the pool and less chlorinated water is coming in behind it. I have had the same pool filter and pumps since my pool was built 25 years ago and have no problems putting 3 inch chlorine tabs in the skimmer basket. I have only replaced the inside of the filter once because some of the sections were ripped, replaced the skimmer basket once after 20 years, and I just had it re-plastered 3 years ago. Like I said before, I'm no expert this is just my experience. Now if someone can tell me how to get rid of the pool.....
Question:	is there an expiration date for these tablets
Answer:	no expiration ,just keep closed tight and dry. work better than other brands i have used .
Question:	How many tablets are in this bucket
Answer:	The description says that there are approximately 114 tablets per bucket.

These industry-leading chlorine tabs have 90% available stabilized chlorine for long lasting sanitizing power.

How to use chlorine tablets:

Add 1-2 chlorine tablets to every 10,000 gallons of pool water.

For best results, we recommend testing the chlorine level once per week.

Increase dosage after heavy use, rain or warm temperatures.

Pool Care and Maintenance

It is important to maintain your pool/spa to keep it clean and healthy all year round. Good habits, such as cleaning your filter or emptying your skimmer basket, will ensure that your investment is protected for years to come. But most importantly, you and your family will be able to enjoy the swimming pool or spa each season.

Water Testing

Testing the water weekly or bi-weekly, depending on use and outside variables, helps keep your pool/spa water healthy. Utilizing a DPD or OTO reagent-based water test kit, test strips, or digital testing will help you monitor the pool or spa water chemistry.

Adjusting and Balancing

Adjusting and balancing your pool or spa water chemistry ensures that you will get the most out of the swimming season. The benefit of having good pH and Alkalinity levels is that it will increase the ability of your main sanitizer to kill bacteria. Balanced pool water chemistry will also reduce chemical and maintenance costs. Balanced pH and alkalinity help prevent corrosion and scale formation on the interior pool surface and surrounding equipment.

Sanitizing

There are many different types of sanitizers used in various pool and spa environments. Clean and healthy water starts by establishing a proper residual chlorine level with shock or concentrated granular chlorine. The most common way to maintain a proper chlorine level is by using trichlor chlorine tablets in either a floater or chemical feeder. Applying these steps to your normal maintenance plan will ensure the elimination of non-living organic contaminants, bacteria, micro organisms, and algae making your water safe to enjoy.

Pool Fun and Safety

Now that the water is properly balanced and sanitized, it’s time to get in there and have some fun! We recommend enhancing your outdoor living environment with games, floats or loungers, toys, and accessories. Get creative!

Safety is of the utmost importance, and there are many ways to help make your pool/spa safer. Having a life ring buoy, a shepherd's hook, depth markers, coast guard-approved life preservers, door and water alarms and having your local aquatic environment safety regulations on-hand will ensure a fun and safe environment for your family.

Treatment

Even after all your preparation, sometimes life happens and your pool or spa can get away from you. In those moments, we need to start back from the beginning with testing of the water. Now that you have a clear idea of the current readings, your next steps will depend on the type of symptoms your water is presenting. This may include an issue such as algae (green, yellow, black, etc.), cloudiness, living organics, debris, and other water conditions.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a 16x32 above ground pool, how much of this product is needed per week
Answer:	Apiwater.com has a table for pool sizes and amounts but I didn’t see your pool size exactly. 15x30 is 3 scoops. I have a 30 foot round and put in 5 scoops. You could call a local pool supply that sells EZPool and ask to be sure
Question:	Do I need a sand filter for this stuff to work
Answer:	I have an earth filter and it works very well. I am not sure but I believe it would work well with a sand filter as well
Question:	Are these tablets or granules
Answer:	They are granules that dissolve very quick near the discharge when sprinkled slowly in the moving water
Question:	How do you open the E-Z pool container
Answer:	Supposed to push red tab and turn lid at same time, doesn't always work some times you need a screw driver and a hammer to move red tab and to get the lid to turn. Product works great just poor design
