Dichlor Granules for Pools

Dichlor granules are a fast-dissolving, stabilized chlorine product used to sanitize pool water. They are ideal for quick adjustments to chlorine levels and include Cyanuric Acid (CYA) for UV protection.

How They Work

Dichlor granules dissolve rapidly in water, releasing chlorine to kill bacteria and algae. At the same time, they add stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) to help protect the chlorine from sunlight.

Benefits

  • Quick-dissolving for immediate results
  • Prevents chlorine loss from UV exposure
  • Convenient for boosting chlorine levels

Usage Tips

  • Pre-dissolve granules in a bucket of water before adding to the pool to prevent staining.
  • Distribute evenly around the pool for best results.
  • Test water frequently to monitor CYA levels and avoid overstabilization.

Considerations

Because dichlor granules add both chlorine and Cyanuric Acid (CYA), their prolonged use can lead to high stabilizer levels, which may reduce the effectiveness of chlorine. Alternate with Trichlor Tablets or unstabilized chlorine products if necessary.
