HTH Blu4weeks Floater 1.5kg

The HTH Blu4weeks Floater 1.5kg is an automatic, slow-release pool sanitiser specifically designed for in-ground pools with water volumes between 30,000L and 70,000L. This durable dispenser delivers a consistent dose of chlorine to maintain hygienic water standards, effectively neutralising pathogens and preventing algae growth while ensuring the pool remains swim-ready for a full 28-day cycle.

Product Specifications and Features

• • Extended 28-Day Lifespan: Engineered to provide continuous sanitisation for an entire month, significantly reducing the frequency of chemical handling and manual pool maintenance tasks.
• • Dual-Action Formula: Acts as both a potent bactericide and algaecide, ensuring that pool water remains free of harmful germs and stubborn green or black algae blooms.
• • Adjustable Flow Control: Features a twistable base with variable aperture settings, allowing you to customise the chlorine release rate based on your specific pool volume.
• • Large 1.5kg Reservoir: The high-volume internal capacity provides a heavy-duty sanitising baseline, ideal for sustaining water quality in larger domestic swimming pools.
• • Slow-Release Technology: Utilises stabilised chlorine tablets that dissolve at a controlled rate, preventing chemical spikes and ensuring a steady 1–3ppm chlorine residual.
• • Visual Empty Indicator: The unit is weighted to tip onto its side when empty, providing a clear visual cue that a replacement floater is required.

Ideal Use Cases

• • Medium to Large In-Ground Pools: Specifically calibrated for volumes of 30,000L to 70,000L, making it the standard choice for most South African residential backyards.
• • Low-Maintenance Daily Care: Perfect for busy homeowners who require a "set-and-forget" sanitising system instead of daily manual granular dosing.
• • Property Management: A reliable solution for rental or holiday homes where regular maintenance might be intermittent, ensuring the water stays clear between visits.
• • Summer Peak Usage: Provides robust protection during hot December and January months when high swimmer loads and sun exposure normally deplete chlorine rapidly.

Safety and Storage Precautions

• • In-Ground Use Only: This floater is designed specifically for in-ground pools; use in smaller inflatable or above-ground pools may lead to excessive chlorine levels and liner damage.
• • Swimming Safety: Remove the floater from the pool during active swimming sessions and place it in a plastic bucket to avoid interference or accidental contact with swimmers.
• • Lining Protection: Do not allow the floater to rest against the pool wall or steps for extended periods, as concentrated chlorine can bleach or damage pool linings and marbelite.
• • Proper Storage: Store unopened units in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from sunlight, acids, or flammable materials to prevent dangerous chemical reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • How do I set the floater for my pool size? Simply twist the base to open 1 hole for 30,000L, 2 holes for 50,000L, or 3 holes for pools up to 70,000L.
• • Do I still need to test the pH? Yes, you must maintain a pH level of 7.2 to 7.6; if the pH is out of balance, the chlorine will not sanitise effectively.
• • Does it contain stabiliser? Yes, it uses Trichloroisocyanuric Acid, which includes a built-in stabiliser to protect the chlorine from being "burnt off" by UV rays.

Clever Hack: The "Tennis Ball" Scum Absorber

• • To keep your HTH Blu4weeks Floater working even more efficiently, drop a clean tennis ball into your pool's weir (skimmer) basket. The felt on the tennis ball acts as a magnet for body oils, sunblock, and lotions that often create a dull film on the water surface; by removing these oils, your chlorine can focus entirely on killing bacteria rather than fighting surface "gunk"!
