Often called trichlor, slow dissolving stabilized chlorinating tablets are very popular as they are used in a constant feed chlorinator. This type of chlorine is also available as granules. Trichlor tablets are our best selling stabilized chlorine due to the convenience factor for the homeowner. However, having a strongly acidic pH, trichlor tabs will reduce total alkalinity and, if not monitored and adjusted, cause a corrosive condition to pool equipment.
Advantages
Slow dissolving; good for chlorinators
Convenient to use
Disadvantages
Reduces total alkalinity
