Use in Combination with Trichlor Tablets

Crystalline Chlorine works exceptionally well alongside Trichlor Tablets for a complete pool sanitisation system. Use Trichlor tablets in a floating dispenser or feeder for slow-release, ongoing chlorination, then use Crystalline Chlorine for shock dosing after heavy use, rain, or when chlorine levels drop quickly. Together they give you consistent baseline protection plus fast-acting top-up capability.

Safety and Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Keep away from children and pets
  • Do not mix with other pool chemicals
  • Always wash hands after handling
  • Refer to product label for full safety information

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between Sodium Di-Chlor and Trichlor?
A: Sodium Di-Chlor (Dichlor) dissolves faster and is pH-neutral, making it ideal for spas and regular pool dosing. Trichlor is slower-dissolving and better suited to tablet feeders for ongoing pool maintenance. Many pool owners use both together for best results.

Q: Can I use this in a saltwater pool?
A: Yes - Crystalline Chlorine can be used to shock a saltwater pool when the salt cell isn't keeping up, such as after heavy rain or high bather load.

Q: How often should I shock my pool?
A: Shock weekly during summer or after heavy use, rain, or if water looks cloudy. For spas, dose after every use or at least weekly.

Q: How long after dosing can I swim?
A: For pools, wait until chlorine levels drop to 1-3 ppm (typically 4-8 hours). For spas, wait until levels drop to 3-5 ppm. Always test with test strips before swimming or soaking.

Q: Can I use this with a robotic pool cleaner?
A: Yes - shock dose your pool as normal. Run your robotic pool cleaner after the chlorine has circulated and levels have returned to the safe range.

Q: Is this safe for fibreglass pools?
A: Yes - Sodium Di-Chlor is safe for concrete, fibreglass, and vinyl liner pools when used at the correct dosage.
