Here are some helpful tips to help you choose the correct sanitiser for your pool! 

• SODIUM DICHLOROISOCYANURATE and TRICHOROISOCYANURIC ACID are both chlorines with Stabiliser (Chlorine sunscreen) to prevent chemical consumption. This is a great product in Summer!

• SODIUM DICHLOROISOCYANURATE can be directly sprinkled over the pool surface (except vinyl pools) as it is quick dissolving. This chlorine will make lifting stains very easy!

• TRICHOROISOCYANURIC ACID is a slow dissolving chlorine. We recommend it goes directly in the skimmer basket. This is perfect for Vinyl pools with sand filters. Not ideal for pools with a cartridge filter.

• CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE is great for fixing a green pool!!!! The calcium in it also helps prevent tile and pebble loss in those surfaces. This product must be dissolved in a bucket before adding it to the pool. Not ideal for quartzon pools that already have a high calcium hardness level. Great for winter!

• CHLORINE TABLETS are easy to use and mean less maintenance time spent on your pool! We recommend these going in a chlorine dispenser that floats around the pool or having a chlorine tablet feeder plumbed into the filtration line. Some chlorine tablets have a bonus added algaecide!
