Floating Chemical Dispenser

A floating chemical dispenser is a device that holds chlorine or bromine tablets and slowly releases them into the water to maintain proper sanitization levels.

How a Floating Chemical Dispenser Works

  • Holds chlorine or bromine tablets inside a vented container.
  • Gradually dissolves sanitizer into the pool or spa water.
  • Adjustable vents allow control over the dispensing rate.

Why Use a Floating Chemical Dispenser?

  • Provides continuous sanitation without manual dosing.
  • Ideal for maintaining proper chemical balance in pools and hot tubs.
