Blu Line Small Dispenser with 10 Ultimate Chlorine Tablets 20g PLUS FREE TEST STRIPS

Ordered afternoon Thursday and it came Friday morning. Brilliant service. Slow dissolving tablet, had it in over night and it’s cleared the water. However it has bleached the bottom of the paddling pool so just watch out for that, perhaps it needs a nudge every now and then to move it around the pool. Overall m, it’s good, does what it says it does and that’s the main thing.

Was recommend this from a friend and I like him was also really pleased with the purchase. When I upgraded from a small paddling pool to 10ft x 30 inch high pool I hadn't really researched what I needed. This is a great little kit to help get you going, but I also ended up buying another kit for PH balance and Algaecide. The kit includes the Special Float to put the chlorine tablets in, 10 Chlorine Tablets and 10 Test Strips. I was putting 3 tablets in to start with and then went down to 2, this was with 2 slot holes open on the float. 2 tablets were lasting about week before they dissolved completely and needed replacing. I'm really surprised with all the 1 star reviews saying tablets don't dissolve. Maybe they're not opening the slots at the bottom side of the float. It's possible to have 0-4 holes open allowing you to adjust how quickly the tablets dissolve. I ended up with 2 different types of test strips and used both the first few times with the same results when testing the water. I now use just 1 every 4-5 days depending on how much the kids are using it. All packed up for the winter now in safe place away from the kids.

Chlorine tablets are essential for keeping pool water clear and hygienic. These chlorine tablets (10 in this pack) are placed in the plastic float and dissolve and release chlorine over about 7-10 days. Therefore the 10 tablets will last 70-100 days or so for a garden pool about 8-10 feet diameter. The float is easy to use, and although not the most robust piece of plastic, all it needs to do is float round the pool and so unlikely to encounter much stress to damage it. There are a few test strips included but these come in a foil container and once this is opened will deteriorate on exposure to air unless protected in a sealed container (not supplied). These are insufficient in number for the season and so a separate supply will need to be ordered. Reasonable at the price. Sept. 2017 update; Although I used these as instructed and the chlorine/pH was within the optimum my paddling pool still went green after 3 weeks or so. I was surprised and so revisited the small print. It actually says 'reduces the amount of algaecide and flocculent needed'. Well I had to order some algaecide and fast dissolving chlorine tablets to 'shock' the pool. This resolved it and the pool cleared. So algaecide is needed with these - chlorine tablets alone are insufficient. The water was slightly cloudy but the pool vacuum and pump resolved this. The float is however good, lasted all summer, and required for the slow release chlorine tablets.

Definitely buy it again kept water clean

Good
