Can this be used with loose powder chlorine, instead of tablets?

No I would say not to be used with loose powder, there are holes in the bottom that are about 1/4" in diameter so the powder would flow out too quickly.

I would say No due to the holes that release the chlorine/Bromine tabs. I think Powder would just dissipate real quick and not release slow as it's intended. Powder is for an instant addition as the Tabs release over time..Other than that if you go Tabs this works perfect, no issues with tipping or anything....Good luck

Definitely not a good idea -- the powder would all be gone in a matter of minutes. It works great with the 1- inch tablets.

Hello,This model is meant for tablet only since it has a adjustable flow rate in the basket. Thank you

i usually use chlorine tabs in a floating dispenser. I don't know anything about salt water pools.

None. Save yourself money( a lot ) and find a generic one inch chlorinating tablets . I didn't feel that this system was worth the money. Adding fresh water more frequently is a very cheap way to keep water ph and balance correct.

You have to experiment with different settings and continually monitor the chlorine level with a basic test kit. There are many factors that will affect the level like the amount of sun, rain and bather level to name a few. I personally, would not add 9 tablets at a time. They all dissolve at the same rate resulting in a high concentration within the unit especially during periods when the filter is not operating. I would start out with half that amount and use a higher flow setting if necessary

I can't be sure, but I would suspect you would not want to. This chemical doesn't dissolve waste, but rather preserves it (reducing foul smells) until pumped out/transferred.

I don't see why it couldn't be. Just mix up your powder in a container with water and put it in. The nozzle is fairly large and I've never had it clog up. This is an excellent sprayer.

I don't think so. I've found this isn't even much use with chlorine, myself. These filters are really only for household level use even though they are used by professionals. 3M also has an 8577 model (NIOSH P95 rating) that might provide better protection against certain chemicals.

Well, I would put some chlorine tablets in the floating device. The chlorine tablets would dissolve in a couple of days. When the pool wasn't in use I would leave the round plastic container in the water. Keeping the water clean and free from slime in such a small pool posed no problem at all.

Powder is better at least for me. The tablets are pretty big and I had to chop them.

Technically yes but I have to ask - are you chlorinating the inflatable pool? This prevents the sun from burning off the chlorine in the water so it doesn't make sense to use it unless you are chlorinating. Also, be aware that this is an acid and will lower ph which can cause skin irritation if you let it get too low. If you use trichlor pucks to chlorinate - stabilizer is already in them.

It will work great if the water is properly chlorinated...you don't need to change the water....

Its easy to fall for all the bells and whistles for a hot tub. Bromine can irritate some people and isn't great in combination with some water sources. Powdered chlorine with frequent pH checks will make a big difference. I have always found the Nature2 to be very compatible with the chlorine.

Probably would be ok with a 3" chlorine tablet split in thirds and one third at a time or a smaller tablet. One 3" would be too much.

Call the factory on that. It's designed for slow dissolving 3" chlorine tabs. Something else might make it explode.

I haven't tried that - just mix it into wet food. I'm not sure that the powder would disolve... Curious if you made this work

I use Neutral Regulator from Seachem because it is both a dechlorinator that can break the chloramine bond and a ph control product designed to help hold ph at about 7.0 to 7.3. This being said, I add the powder directly to the aquarium over the period of time that I am adding water. I hope this helps you.

No, that should not happen at all. With my set it works perfectly, and does not leave a powdery substance.
