Pros

Effective Sanitization 

Trichloroisocyanuric Acid contains a high concentration of chlorine, typically around 90%, which makes it a powerful sanitizer. It effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, and algae, ensuring clean and safe pool water for swimming.

Long-lasting 

Trichloroisocyanuric Acid has a relatively long shelf-life, so it's a great choice for those that prefer to buy their chlorine in bulk.

Slow-dissolving 

Trichlor tablets are designed to dissolve slowly in pool water, providing a continuous and consistent chlorine release over time. This slow-dissolving feature makes it convenient for pool owners as they don’t have to add chlorine as frequently.

Cons

PH and Cyanuric Acid Imbalance 

Continuous use of trichloroisocyanuric acid can lead to a gradual decrease in pH levels and an increase in cyanuric acid levels in the pool water. Never use trichlor in indoor pools.

Not Suitable For Vinyl Pools 

Trichlor's acidity, high concentration, and slow dissolving nature can damage to vinyl liners if not used carefully.

Not Suitable for Shocking 

Trichloroisocyanuric Acid cannot be used to shock a pool.
