About this product
Blue Horizons Large Multifunction Tablets – Keep your pool sparkling with consistent protection. These robust tablets from Blue Horizons are designed for serious pool owners seeking long-lasting chlorination and exceptional water quality. This 5kg tub contains a significant quantity of slow-dissolving 200g tablets, providing ample treatment to maintain a clear and healthy swimming environment for the entire season – ideal for larger family pools and those who appreciate a hands-off approach to pool maintenance.
The large tablet size is specifically engineered for use with skimmers or feeders, ensuring a controlled and efficient release of chlorine into the water. This reduces the need for frequent topping up, saving you time and effort. The multifunction formula within these tablets doesn’t just tackle chlorine; it actively combats algae growth and helps to clarify pool water, contributing to a brilliantly clear swimming experience.
While effective, these tablets are best suited for pools with larger volumes of water and utilise skimmers or feeders rather than small floaters. This 5kg tub represents a mid-range investment offering substantial value considering the extended period of protection it delivers. Remember to always follow dosage instructions carefully for optimal results and to consult your pool’s specific requirements. Ensure you store these tablets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
