Pool Mate 8 lb Pool Chlorine Granules — Stabilized, Fast-Dissolving Sanitizer (Made in USA)

Pool Mate 8-Pounds Premium Pool Chlorine Granules are a concentrated, stabilized chlorine sanitizer designed to keep pool water clear by maintaining a consistent chlorine residual.

These made-in-USA granules dissolve quickly and deliver reliable sanitizing power for routine chlorination or occasional shock treatments. Formulated to be powerful yet residue-free and minimally disruptive to pH, the product is intended for broadcast application in the pool’s deepest area while the circulation system runs. Follow dosing guidance and check free chlorine levels to achieve the recommended 2–4 ppm target.

How should I dose Pool Mate granules for regular maintenance?

For ongoing sanitization, broadcast 3 ounces of granules per 10,000 gallons of pool water every other day or as needed to hold chlorine between 2 and 4 ppm. Adjust frequency based on bather load, temperature, or unusual conditions that consume sanitizer faster.

• Standard maintenance: 3 oz per 10,000 gallons every other day
• Target free chlorine: 2–4 ppm for typical use
• Check levels with a test kit before re-entry and after dosing

Can these granules be used for shock treatments and when should I shock?

Yes — the concentrated formula doubles as a shock treatment when higher chlorine is needed to restore water clarity. Shock weekly or whenever the pool shows signs of stress like cloudiness, strong odors, visible contaminants, heavy swim loads, or after large storms.

• Weekly preventative shock during heavy-use seasons
• Shock after storms, algae appearance, or cloudy water
• Increase dose above routine levels when treating specific problems

Will Pool Mate granules affect my pool’s pH?

The stabilized formulation is designed to have little influence on pH compared with some liquid chlorine options, which helps reduce the need for frequent pH corrections. Still, you should monitor pH and keep it in the recommended 7.2–7.6 range using a pH increaser or decreaser when necessary.

• Typical pH target: 7.2–7.6 for swimmer comfort and sanitizer efficiency
• Use pH adjusters if readings deviate from the recommended range
• Regular testing prevents cumulative imbalances

How do I apply Pool Mate granules safely and effectively?

Broadcast the granules evenly across the pool’s deepest zone while the pump and filter are running to ensure rapid dissolution and distribution. Observe safety warnings on the label, avoid adding granules into skimmers or near metal parts, and keep treated water out of bounds until chlorine levels are safe.

• Broadcast in deepest area with circulation on for best dispersion
• Avoid adding directly to skimmers or near pool equipment
• Do not re-enter pool if free chlorine exceeds local safety thresholds
