HTH Pace Stabilised Chlorine Pool Floater 1.5kg

The HTH Pace Stabilised Chlorine Pool Floater 1.5kg is a self-contained, slow-release sanitising system designed for medium to large residential swimming pools between 30,000 and 70,000 litres. It integrates high-grade trichloroisocyanuric acid with a built-in clarifier and UV stabiliser to maintain water hygiene and clarity by preventing chlorine degradation caused by harsh South African sunlight.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Pool Volume Compatibility: A single unit treats up to 70,000 litres; for pools exceeding this volume, two units should be used simultaneously.
• • Adjustable Dosage: The twistable base allows for precise control of chlorine release based on pool size (Small/Medium, Medium, or Large settings).
• • Multi-Action Formula: Provides continuous sanitisation to kill bacteria and algae while the clarifier gathers fine debris for easier filtration.
• • Sun Protection: The "stabilised" formula contains cyanuric acid, which shields active chlorine from UV rays, extending the lifespan of the chemical.
• • Visual Indicator: The canister is designed to tip onto its side when the internal chlorine tablets are depleted, signaling it is time for a replacement.

Safety Precautions

• • Chemical Handling: Do not open or refill the floater; it is a single-use, disposable unit.
• • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct heat, sparks, or open flames.
• • Water Contact: Always place the floater in a vertical position and allow it to float freely; do not submerge it under pool covers as this can cause concentrated chemical damage.
• • Hazardous Material: This product is an oxidiser and is harmful if swallowed; keep strictly out of reach of children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • How long does one floater last? Under normal conditions and correct settings, the 1.5kg unit provides consistent sanitisation for up to four weeks.
• • Can I use this in a vinyl or fibreglass pool? Yes, provided the floater is allowed to move freely and not trapped against the pool wall, it is safe for all pool linings.
• • What should my pH level be? For optimal chlorine performance, maintain a pH of 7.2–7.6 for marbelite and 7.0–7.2 for fibreglass pools.
• • When is it safe to swim? You can swim while the floater is active, provided the free chlorine level is tested and remains below 3 ppm.

Local Pro-Tip

• • During the peak of summer, keep a close eye on your stabiliser (cyanuric acid) levels; if they exceed 50 ppm, the chlorine can become "locked" and ineffective. To fix this without wasting chemicals, simply backwash your filter slightly longer than usual and top up with fresh municipal water to dilute the concentration.
