ClearView 1-Inch Stabilized Chlorine Tablets – 5 lb
ClearView 1-Inch Chlorine Tablets are stabilized, slow-dissolving trichlor tablets designed for routine swimming pool chlorination.
Each 5 lb pail contains small 1-inch tablets made with 99% trichloro-s-triazinetrione (trichlor). When used in an appropriate chlorine tablet feeder, they gradually release chlorine to help maintain the pool's chlorine residual.
The smaller tablet format offers an alternative to larger 3-inch chlorine tablets, with more compact tablets suited to compatible feeding equipment.
What are ClearView 1-Inch Chlorine Tablets used for?
ClearView tablets are intended for ongoing chlorine maintenance after an initial chlorine residual has been established.
Their key characteristics include:
-
Stabilized trichlor chlorine for swimming pools.
-
Slow-dissolving tablets for use in an appropriate feeder.
-
Compact 1-inch tablet size.
-
5 lb pail for routine pool maintenance.
These tablets are not a substitute for an initial fast-dissolving chlorine treatment when one is required. For rapid chlorination, see Shimmer N' Shock pool shock and follow its separate product label.
Dosage: How much should you use?
The EPA reference label dated September 29, 2014, provides the following directions. Confirm that they match the label on your purchased container before use.
| Application | Amount | Pool volume | Label guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per-tablet reference | 1 tablet | 3,000 gallons | Provides 1.0 ppm available chlorine by weight |
| Routine maintenance | 14 tablets | 8,000 gallons | Every 7–14 days, after establishing the initial chlorine residual |
The per-tablet value is a reference from the label, not a universal starting dose or a guarantee of the chlorine concentration measured in your pool.
Actual requirements depend on water temperature, wind, pool usage and feeder operation. Test the water frequently and adjust according to the applicable product label.
How to use ClearView 1-Inch Chlorine Tablets
-
Test your pool water. The 2014 EPA label specifies checking pH before treatment and adjusting it to 7.2–7.6 when necessary. Check chlorine with a reliable test kit, such as the iopool 6-in-1 pool test strips.
-
Establish the initial chlorine residual. The reference label directs users to establish 1.0–3.0 ppm using a fast-dissolving granular or liquid chlorinating product, following that product's own label.
-
Use the specified feeder. The reference label identifies an erosion-type chlorine tablet feeder. Never add tablets to a feeder containing residues of another chemical.
-
Monitor and adjust. Test chlorine frequently and adjust the feeding rate as directed by the applicable label and feeder instructions.
Do not place tablets directly into the swimming pool.

Compatibility
These tablets are intended for swimming pools equipped with a compatible chlorine tablet feeder.
The 1-inch format differs from the larger 3-inch format in tablet size and dissolution behavior. Check your feeder's specifications before selecting a tablet size.
Compatibility with hot tubs, spas, saltwater chlorination systems or alternative dispensing methods has not been established by the EPA reference label reviewed here. Do not assume these applications are approved.
Because trichlor contributes cyanuric acid (CYA) to pool water, monitor stabilizer levels as part of routine pool maintenance.
Important precautions
DANGER — the 2014 EPA label identifies this product as a corrosive, strong oxidizing chemical.
-
Keep out of reach of children.
-
Wear suitable eye protection, protective clothing and rubber gloves when handling.
-
Never mix with other chemicals or add to a feeder containing chemical residues. Dangerous reactions, including fire or explosion, may occur.
-
Never place tablets directly in the pool or against vinyl or concrete surfaces.
-
Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, away from moisture and heat.
-
Follow the US container label for complete precautions, first aid, storage and disposal requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What are ClearView 1-Inch Chlorine Tablets?
They are stabilized swimming pool chlorine tablets containing 99% trichlor, supplied in a 5 lb pail with 1-inch tablets.
How many tablets should I use?
The 2014 EPA reference label specifies 14 tablets per 8,000 gallons for maintenance after establishing the initial chlorine residual. Follow the label on your purchased container.
How often should I add them?
The reference label specifies every 7–14 days. Actual requirements vary with pool conditions and chlorine testing results.
Can I put these tablets directly in my pool or skimmer?
Do not place them directly into the pool. The reviewed EPA label specifies an erosion-type tablet feeder. Skimmer or floating feeder use must not be assumed to be authorized.
How long should I wait before swimming?
The reference label does not specify a fixed waiting time. It prohibits reentry when available chlorine exceeds 4.0 ppm. Always test the water and follow all applicable label and water-quality requirements before swimming.
