How to Use Pool Chlorine Granules Correctly 

To maximise effectiveness, fine-grade swimming pool chlorine granules should be pre-dissolved in water before being added to your pool or spa. Always add granules to water rather than pouring water onto them, as this prevents unwanted chemical reactions. 

 

Ideal Chlorine Levels for Pools & Spas

• Swimming Pools: 1-3 mg/l (ppm)
• Hot Tubs & Swim Spas: 3-5 mg/l (ppm)

 

Additionally, always maintain a pH level between 7.2 - 7.6 to ensure your chlorine functions optimally. Regular testing before and after chlorine application helps maintain proper water balance.

What Makes Stabilised Chlorine Granules Better? 

Stabilised chlorine granules contain cyanuric acid, a stabiliser that prevents chlorine from breaking down quickly under sunlight. Without stabilisation, UV rays degrade chlorine rapidly, reducing it's effectiveness and requiring more frequent dosing. 

 

Key Advantages of Using Stabilised Chlorine Granules: 

• Extended Chlorine Effectiveness 
• Reduced Chlorine Consumption
• Consistent water Sanitisation

How Much Chlorine Granules Should you Use? 

For accurate dosing, follow this guideline:

2g of stabilised chlorine granules raises chlorine by 1 ppm per 1000 litres (220 gallons) of water. 

However, always read the products specific instructions for precise application, as requirements may vary. For safety, wear protective equipment and handle chlorine in a well-ventilated area.

The Importance of Balancing pH & Chlorine Levels 

While chlorine is essential for pool sanitisation, pH balance plays an equal critical tole in maintaining a safe and comfortable swimming environment. pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of your pool water, and it directly impacts how effective chlorine is at disinfecting. 

 

Low pH (Too acidic): 

• Corrodes pool equipment
• Causes skin & eye irritation 
• Weakens chlorine effectiveness

High (Too Alkaline) 

• Leads to cloudy water
• Causes scaling on pool surfaces 
• Reduced Chlorine's sanitising power 

 

How to Maintain pH Balance: 

• The ideal pH range for pool water is 7.2 - 7.6 (slightly above neutral) 
• Regularly test pH levels using test strips, photometer or a digital meter like the amazing Safe Swim System

Adjust pH as needed: 

• Use pH plus (sodium carbonate) if the pH is too low 
• Use pH minus (sodium bisulfate) if the pH is too high. 

 

A well balanced pH ensures your chlorine remains effective, helping to keep your pool and spa water clear, comfortable, and safe for swimmers and bathers.
