- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2022After seeing all of these reviews I was about to look elsewhere but they were in good shape not broken and all there ! Make sure you remove the side lining before trying to open I spent about two minutes before I realized ha ! ( felt like writing this for everyone that might look away because of reviews, no benefits from this review )
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2024I love the fact that I can drop one in my skimmer twice a week and have a clear water pool. The price is kind of high but it's worth it.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024They seem to dissolve slower making less need to fill the floater as often. Be careful when opening the container the chemical smell is very very strong and has quite a bit of dust/powder which definitely can affect someone with breathing problems such as myself. But overall good product and is doing the job.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024The plastic container was broken and wrapped in plastic bags. The chlorine tablets were not broken. There was a lot of Chlorine dust loose in the shipping box. The shipping box was not damaged. The damages to the plastic container must have happened prior to shipping. The safety latch on the container is practically bulletproof. I’d prefer something simpler. Otherwise the product is good. I will order again as long as the tablets keep arriving unbroken.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2025Great
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2024Works great in my 450gl spa, have a time release bucket with a brick in it. It last for days at a time.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024The product is what it is, but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired if they are shipping this. I don't understand why they make the container so large that the tablets have so much room to move around in and get broken. Why not make a tube container for them? Or at least put bubble wrap or some sort of padding on the inside of the bucket? I just put one of the unbroken ones in my pool, so time will tell on the effectiveness. My pool has been filled for a week, with zero chemicals, just the pump running as I am still in the process of setting it up completely. The water is already clear, and we have a LOT of rain, and the pool does get sun for quite a bit of the day. Well, when it's not raining! I plan to test the chlorine levels in a day to see if these are effective and keep it at the safe level and clearness I want. For reference, I have an 8 foot stock tank pool and run the pump/filter 10 hours a day. Most with stock tank pools only run theirs a few hours a day, which I don't get, as I grew up with a pool, and ours actually ran 24 hours a day from the time we opened it in the Spring. So to sum it up, they arrive at least 25% broken, at least in my case, but smell strongly of chlorine, so I can't imagine they wouldn't work.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2024Works great in our pool and cheaper than stores.
