Perfect size and works really well well with a small pool to assist in keeping clean so I don’t have to drain all the time. Pool holds 630 gallons of water

Excellent, works very well, easy to use

They’re chlorine tablets so I’m not sure what to say 🤣 They work. Hot tub is lookin’ good :)

Game changer! We purchased a hot tub almost two years ago, and the first year of owning we had a very hard time keeping it clear. We were using bromine tablets at that time, and I decided to switch to these. Oh my goodness! Ever since switching to the chlorine tablets our hot tub has stayed crystal clear! Before these, we were emptying our hot tub every few months, as the water wouldn’t stay clear no matter what we did or used. So happy I found these!

I bought these HTH tablets to use as more affordable refills for the Fluidmaster Flush-n-Sparkle toilet cleaning system. If you are unfamiliar with this system, I would encourage you to investigate it or others like it. I can confirm that four of these 1" chlorine tablets fit perfectly inside the Flush-n-Sparkle cartridge (if you remove the black foam used as a spacer).I just tested my first refilled cartridge with these tablets in the toilet. I can report that the bowl water has more free chlorine than I was getting by refilling with broken fragments of a 3" Clorox toilet cleaning tablet.To refill the cartridge, all I do is cut a slit along the seams on opposite sides of the bottom of the Flush-n-Sparkle cartridge cylinder, pry off the end-cap, discard the black foam, and put four of these tablets inside the cartridge. Replace the end cap and the cartridge is ready to go back into the dispenser.All that is left to discover is how long these tablets last in this application. Very happy so far.Note: The 1.5 lb (0.7 kg) bottle that I received contained 44 tablets. Each tablet weighs just a little over 1/2 oz (0.56 oz) or 15.9 grams. So I expect to get at least 11 refills of the cartridges for this price. Much cheaper and maybe less plastic going to the landfill.++++++++++UPDATE: I've used these tabs for a week or so and can say they sure do put a lot more chlorine into the bowl than the refill cartridges from Fluidmaster, at least double. That means there is a noticeable bleach smell near the toilet, which may be a problem for some sensitive users. My wife has not complained yet so I am going to keep using them. Some folks may prefer the cleaner-smelling effect. The tabs are not dissolving too quickly either.Caution: I would be very concerned if we had pets drinking out of the toilets. Also I would not drop these tabs in the top tank without the cleaning system either, as I expect the high chlorine level would aggressively attack the rubber seals.++++Update May 3, 2024++++I originally bought a dozen or so Flush-n-Sparkle cartridges. I just refilled about 8 empty cartridges that we have accumulated over the past several months. Each empty cartridge holds 3 or 4 of these HTH 1" tablets. We have 3 toilets and 3 family members, and we are all at home most of the time.I try to check the toilets around the first of each month and replace any cartridges that are mostly empty. (I use a sharpie to write the replacement date on the top of the cartridge to track it. This date is easy to erase later with an alcohol pad. I would say that in our use case, these refilled cartridges are lasting 4 - 5 weeks in each toilet.If there are a few remaining pieces of undissolved tablet in a used cartridge, you can just insert 3 new tablets and crush down the shards. If completely empty, then 4 tablets will fit. I have 7 of the original 44 tablets left, so it is time to reorder more HTH tablets. This is a much more affordable solution for us.
