Pool Magic Hypochlor Chlorine Tablets 1.7kg

The Pool Magic Hypochlor Chlorine Tablets 1.7kg are high-strength, non-stabilised calcium hypochlorite pills designed for consistent water disinfection.

Unlike stabilised alternatives, these tablets do not contain cyanuric acid, preventing chemical over-saturation that can render chlorine ineffective.

They dissolve slowly to provide a steady sanitiser residual, making them ideal for routine maintenance in residential and commercial swimming pools.

Ideal Use and Performance

• • Sanitisation Efficiency: Effectively eradicates bacteria, viruses, and organic contaminants to ensure a safe, healthy swimming environment for your family.
• • No Stabiliser Buildup: Prevents chlorine lock by providing pure disinfection without increasing cyanuric acid levels, ensuring your chlorine remains active and potent in the water.
• • Algae Control: Acts as a continuous preventative treatment against green algae growth and can be used to clear minor water cloudiness through consistent dosage.
• • Versatile Application: Specifically designed for use in a floating dispenser or an inline chlorine feeder, ensuring a controlled and measurable chemical release over several days.

Safety Precautions

• • Chemical Incompatibility: Never mix these tablets with stabilised chlorine (trichlor or dichlor) in the same feeder or floater, as this can cause a violent chemical reaction.
• • Handling Hygiene: Use protective gloves and avoid breathing in dust when opening the 1.7kg tub; wash hands thoroughly after handling the tablets to prevent skin irritation.
• • Storage Conditions: Store the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from acids, solvents, or combustible materials like petrol and oil.
• • Child Protection: Keep the lid securely locked and store the product out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion or chemical burns.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Can I use these in my skimmer? It is recommended to use a floater, as placing high-strength calcium hypochlorite tablets directly in the skimmer can damage your pool pump's internal seals over time.
• • Will these tablets raise my pH? Calcium hypochlorite has a naturally high pH; you should monitor your water balance and adjust with pool acid as needed to keep your pH between 7.2 and 7.6.
• • How many tablets do I need? For a standard 50,000-litre pool, start with two tablets in a dispenser and adjust the openings to maintain a free chlorine level of 1–3 ppm.
• • Are they safe for salt-water pools? Yes, they are an excellent supplementary sanitiser for salt systems, especially during periods of high swimmer load or extreme South African summer heat.

Clever Hack for pools

• • If your pool is losing chlorine quickly due to intense UV exposure, use these non-stabilised tablets primarily at night.
• • Since they lack built-in sun protection, adding them when the sun is down allows the chlorine to reach peak concentration and kill bacteria overnight without being prematurely depleted by the morning rays.
