The main criteria is to ensure biocidal cover is maintained to minimise bacteria. This is covered by treating on a varying basis the type of biocide applied.

Each has a slightly different effect.

Product	Test / Dose
Stabilised Chlorine Granules	Daily
Chlorine Tablets	2 x per week
Bromine Tablets	2 x per week
Algaecides	1 x per week

Your bacteria killing programme will usually be an algaecide with one of the others noted above.

Tablets typically last longer than powders so need addressing less frequently.

It is always essential to note the compatibility of varying chemical treatment programmes.

It is also advisable to keep a record of the tests and dosing, this will enable you to identify trends caused by factors such as the weather, bather usage etc.
