3" HTH tablets clogging my filter?

[shoveler]

I don't blame you for being cautious.

I'll look at my registration info and see what I can do.

As for the hth tabs,I know they are the cause of my problem so for now I'll buy more of the dual action and hope the trouble stops.I thought I had bought enough chlorine to finish the season but , $10 saved turned out to be $60 wasted. Maybe next yr. I'll get a chlorinator and stop putting tabs in my skimmer.Then use these tabs that way,unless I hear of other trouble with them.Anyone else on here adding tabs to skimmers stay away from these!

Thank you for the help. Gary

The problems with mixed and blended chemicals just keeps getting worse! I just hope Amazon expands its pool store product line next year, so that we'll be able to offer people a complete program based on EITHER grocery store chemicals OR unblended chemicals from Amazon.

Don't do anything with your registration info, yet. I'll be sending out an email, and post a notice with more specific information.

I don't think you want to use the dual-action ones, Gary. Unless I am mistaken (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), I think that the dual action ones have copper in them and you do NOT want copper in your pool! Contrary to popular belief, it is not chlorine that stains things and turns blonde hair green, it is copper!

I don't have to make that decision now.Just came from wal-mart and all they have now is the "new improved blend" it said on the sign.It's the ones I'm having trouble with. I seem to be getting some fall-out or blow by from the filter with them too.something real fine and soft on the pool bottom in the little ridges. I'll have to change up next year for sure. sad because I've used the dual action for five yrs at least, and all was well till this. BUYERS BEWARE! Gary

BUYERS BEWARE! Gary

Unfortunately, that warning is needed these days with regard to pool chemicals generally!
