Does this last with frequent use in chlorine?

Sorry, I haven't had mine long enough to know. I've only used it a few times, so far. Dries quick.

Yes. I know someone who uses theirs 4 times a week for a couple years. Just at least rinse it real good after every swim in cold water an line dry.

It depends on the size of the pool and what the chlorine measured when tested. I would not buy this chorine deapenser again. The only thing I still have is the cap that fit on my original dispenser after this one took on water and starting sinking. Cheap!

I use them in an inline chlorinator about 6 pieces at a time. They usually last about a week when I am running the filtration for 8 hours a day. If you are using these in a float for a smaller pool I think they would last longer, maybe up to 2 weeks.

No you don't have to run it all the time, but I would recommend buying a cover for it and running the pump/filter at least 6 to 8 hours for best results. Remember to chlorinate.

They tell us one year. However, I believe it depends more on the amount of water you put through it. We use it only for drinking water and making tea or coffee. Ours lasts two years before the chlorine taste reappears. So, we replace every two years. I suspect if it is used every day for everything in the kitchen it would have a one year life.

yes, The chlorinator will stop producing chlorine. Also when replacing make sure to remember correct direction of flow

We use these and a couple dips in a chlorine pool for about 30min usually gets rid of it for my husband

Had same pool. 1-2 tabs per week along with chlorine tabs have done it for over 5 years. The arm n hammer makes the difference. Sometimes threw in some chlorine granules Always stayed clear. Def gotta vacuum n skim pool too

You do not use chlorine, just the RENU2 and the bromine. It will help keep the chemicals at a normal level, providing you test the water and watch how much you add.

absolutely not! It is fabulous. It actually balances with your chlorine to get rid of other mineral buildups, cuts the chlorine use in almost half. We use 1 of their tablets to every 3 chlorine in our pool and never have any problems anymore. We used to get areas of green algae around the filter and drain before . I highly recommend it.

My son took his to our local pool which is chlorinated, and it worked fine. I would say yes!

I have used this product for many years in two houses that have septic system and have had no problem. The amount of chlorine put into the system is so small that it will not upset the balance of bacteria in the septic tank.

It lasts a while. Didn't notice having to change and we used it quite a bit.

Yes, I have used it for more than a hour on multiple occasions. I normally use it for 35min daily. I've had this unit for over two years.

I'd say about six months with heavily chlorinated water. It was worth every penny.

It depends on your climate, and water chemistry. I live in a fairly warm area (95-100 most of the summer), and I keep the pool up from May through September. I generally add about a cup of ph increaser each week, about 2oz algaecide each week, and about a gallon of chlorine each month (as needed), in addition to a floating chlorine tablet dispenser to which I add about two 3" tablets every ten days or so. I vacuum the bottom of the pool about every two weeks, and I clean/change the filter at the same time. You might not have to vacuum as often, it depends on how much stuff gets tracked in on little feet. ;) Finally, I run the filter for four hours a day. However, I upgraded to a higher volume pump with larger hoses. If you use the pump and filter setup that comes with the pool, I'd recommend running it six hours every day. I've been using Intex EZ set pools for eight years (I use each one for two years, then give it to a friend who gets at least another year out of it). This oval frame pool is definitely the best one yet, and when it wears out, I'll likely get another one just like it. I spend about 20 minutes a week on maintenance, and the rest is pure enjoyment! I hope this is helpful. :)

yes, it's safe just don't leave it in the pool between cleanings, I'm only saying this because if the bristles are rusting like from the other comment it's most likely the chlorine is attacking the bristles from extended time in the water
