Pool Mate 1-1304 Stabilized/Concentrated/Chlorinating Granules

The product and value are good and certainly would rate a 5 star. BUT, the package was impossible to open normally.. The lld was fused to the bucket. There was no possibility of applying enough twisting force to break the seal even after removing the ratchet safety. By forcing a screw driver between lid and bucket separating the threads, going completely around several times, I was able to break the seal after 30 minutes of hard work. Each time the screw driver was inserted you could hear a portion of the seal snap loose. The only other possibility was to use a saber saw. Item number 1-1308pm, 8 lb. PoolMate Stabilized Concentrated Chlorinating Granuales. Whether this problem exists with other samples is unknown.

This product is very weak. I am having to use double the amount than normal to keep my hot tub clean. Would not recommend and will not buy again. I should have known when the price was a lot cheaper than the competitors.

I've hit up all my local stores for chlorine for my spa. Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's...all of them (excluding specialty spa/pool stores that charge $$$ for chemicals). The selection was pathetic. Walmart didn't have powder, and Home Depot & Lowe's had huge buckets for more than I was willing to spend. This hit the sweet spot. Powder, reasonably priced, enough to last. And it does the job. Perfect!

This product dissolved well in the water with no filler in it, all chlorine. Our local pool store sells a different brand that leaves little pieces of who-knows-what that feel like styrofoam in my pool and hot tub. This is much better and the price wasn't too high.

Not worth the money not strong enough does nothing for my pool
