How to Maintain Pool Cleanliness with Chlorine Dispensers

Chlorine dispensers are essential tools for ensuring your pool remains clean and hygienic by consistently releasing chlorine or bromine into the water. These devices require minimal effort, making them ideal for maintaining perfect water chemistry throughout the swimming season.

How to Maintain Pool Cleanliness with Chlorine Dispensers

Types of Chlorine Dispensers

There are several types of chlorine dispensers available, each catering to different pool needs. The most common types include:

  • Floating Dispensers — these devices float on the pool surface and gradually release chemicals.
  • Clip-on Dispensers — attach to pool ladders or walls for a fixed position.
  • In-line Feeders — install directly in the pool's plumbing for automated chemical distribution.

Material and Compatibility

Chlorine dispensers are typically made from durable, UV-resistant plastic to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without discolouration. Most models are compatible with standard 200g or 20g chlorine tablets, ensuring versatility and ease of use.

What Size Chlorine Dispenser Do You Need for Your Pool?

Choosing the right size chlorine dispenser depends on your pool's volume. For pools up to 50,000 litres, a standard floater is adequate. Larger pools may require multiple floaters or a more robust in-line system. Consider these factors when selecting your dispenser:

  • Pool size and volume
  • Frequency of use
  • Climate and weather conditions
  • Type of chlorine used
  • Desired maintenance frequency
