Definitions for "TRICHLOR"
Common name for trichloro-s-triazinetrione or the new name trichloroisocyanurate. A slow-dissolving, tabletted, stabilized organic chlorine compound providing 90% available chlorine. Used for regular chlorination but must be dispensed using a floating feeder or an in-line feeder (chlorinator). Trichlor contains an ingredient (cyanuric acid or stabilizer) that prevents the chlorine from being destroyed by the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Trichlor has a pH of 2.8 and regular trichlor tabs should not be placed in the skimmer as the low pH will corrode the metal components in the equipment.
a highly concentrated stabilized chlorine. Typically, it is approximately 90% Available Chlorine and is sold in a variety of tablet sizes and other shapes. Acidic in nature requiring periodic adjustment of the pH. Recommended for pool use only. A granular material is used to spot treat algae in masonry pools only. The types of trichlor chlorine that are most commonly used in feeders and floaters are the tablets and other solid shapes. No other product can be used in a chlorinator with an enclosed space.
