Water moving over chlorine tablets, as happens in a chlorinator or with tablets designed to be placed in the skimmer, causes them to dissolve more quickly.

Be careful when the baffles are wide open, that the small slivers of tablets don’t fall out, which can stain both vinyl and plaster pools. Place slivers in the skimmer basket. You can use half tablets too, score them with a screwdriver, and break it in half with your hands, underwater in the skimmer basket.
