Ask Your Pool Question?

Is it Ok to Put Chlorine Tablets in My Skimmer Basket?

Question?

Q: Good afternoon sir. Some oil for your question machine. There is no chlorinator device installed in my swimming pool. In the summer, my pool can barely keep up with required chlorine levels. Is it Ok to add chlorine tablets to the skimmer? Enough, that is my special dilemma.

There you go, much appreciated. Great site.

A: Hello amigos, an interesting one there. Ok, here we go. It is not a good idea to Put tables in your chlorinator. This common habit can deteriorate the pump seal and spring a leak. In addition, it destroys your O-rings, skimmer and pump baskets. It is a better solution to buy a floating chlorinator. Perfect, focus on it. Call it a wrap.

In final, time to get back at it. Onward and upward.
