Why Use a Chlorine Dispenser?

Published in Pool Maintenance 2 mins read

A chlorine dispenser helps maintain consistent and safe chlorine levels in your pool, preventing both under-chlorination and over-chlorination.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Consistent Chlorination: Dispensers release chlorine gradually and consistently, leading to more stable and predictable water chemistry compared to manually adding chlorine.

  • Preventing Microorganism Growth: Adequate chlorine levels are crucial to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms that can make your pool unsafe for swimming. A chlorine dispenser ensures a constant supply to combat these threats.

  • Avoiding Skin and Eye Irritation: Over-chlorination can cause skin irritation, itchy eyes, and even respiratory problems. A dispenser helps avoid excessive chlorine levels by providing a controlled release.

  • Convenience: Dispensers require less frequent attention than manual chlorination. You simply fill the dispenser with chlorine tablets and adjust the release rate as needed.

  • Even Distribution: Dispensers, especially floating models, help distribute chlorine more evenly throughout the pool water, ensuring consistent sanitation.

  • Monitoring Chlorine Levels: Although the dispenser automates the process, you still need to regularly test your pool water to ensure the dispenser is properly adjusted and maintaining the correct chlorine level (typically 1-3 ppm).
