HTH Slow Release Granular Floater 1.5kg

The HTH slow-release Granular Floater 1.5kg is an automated water treatment system designed for continuous sanitisation of residential swimming pools. Unlike traditional tablet dispensers, this unit utilises a granular chlorine core to provide a steady, controlled release of active ingredients, effectively killing bacteria and preventing algae blooms in pools up to 70,000 litres in volume.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Pool Size Compatibility: A single 1.5kg unit is ideal for pools ranging from 30,000 to 70,000 litres.
• • Adjustable Settings: Features an adjustable collar at the base to regulate chlorine output based on specific pool volume and environmental temperatures.
• • Multi-Action Protection: Combines high-strength sanitiser with a built-in clarifier and an algicide to maintain water transparency.
• • Stabilised Chemistry: Contains UV protection to prevent chlorine loss caused by direct sunlight, ensuring the chemical remains active for longer periods.
• • Replacement Indicator: The dispenser is weighted to float upright when full and will tilt or float on its side when the granular contents are exhausted.

Safety Precautions

• • Single Use Only: This is a factory-sealed, disposable unit; do not attempt to open, refill, or tamper with the internal granular chamber.
• • Handling: Avoid contact with eyes and skin; wash hands thoroughly after handling the plastic casing.
• • Storage: Keep replacement units in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from flammable materials and acids.
• • Child Safety: Keep the floater out of reach of children and pets, and ensure it is not used as a pool toy.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • How long does the floater last? One unit typically lasts up to 4 weeks, though high temperatures or heavy rain may increase the consumption rate.
• • Can I use this in a vinyl or fibreglass pool? Yes, it is safe for all linings. Ensure the floater is not restricted to one area, as concentrated chlorine can bleach surfaces.
• • Should I remove it when people are swimming? It is safe to leave in the pool while swimming, provided it is not being played with or submerged.
• • Does it work with salt chlorinators? It can be used as a supplementary sanitiser if your chlorinator is malfunctioning or struggling during peak summer loads.

Local Pro-Tip

• • On windy days, pool cleaners often suck the floater into the weir or trap it against a step. To prevent uneven chlorination, use a small piece of nylon string to tether the floater to a pool ladder or a non-metal fixture, allowing it to move in a restricted radius away from the suction inlet.
