Chlorination
The most natural, economical and smart way to look after your water
The Hidden Cost of Chlorine Tablets
Chlorine tablets look cheap, but they have a serious chemical problem most people don't know about: cyanuric acid.
What is cyanuric acid?
Chlorine tablets (trichlor) contain stabiliser (cyanuric acid) to stop the sun destroying the chlorine. The problem is:
❌ Chlorine gets used up
It disinfects the water and disappears
⚠️ Cyanuric acid does NOT
It builds up day after day, month after month
Once it reaches 75-100 ppm:
🚫 CHLORINE STOPS WORKING
There's chlorine in the water (the test shows it), but the water turns green anyway.
The Money Trap
Forced Overdosing
To make up for the lock, you need 3-4 times more chlorine by late summer (+€100)
Wasted Water
The only fix: drain 1/3 to 1/2 of the pool to dilute it. Cost: €100-150/year
"Panic" Products
Shock, extra-strong algaecide, flocculant... that don't work because of the chemical lock (+€150)
