If your current maintenance provider has a tablet service its important that they show up every month and provide the service as prescribed by Texas A&M Agrilife. By leaving all these tablets in the dispenser for months at a time, they become less potent, eventually leaving a tablet of filler material with much less chlorine substance inside, which can result in improper treatment of the wastewater spraying onto your lawn. All chlorine tablets have a limited lifespan and degrade over time. Adding this many tablets would lead to bridging very quickly, rendering almost all tablets useless.Дў. In order to provide a substainal supply of chlorine, based on the recommended 2-5 tablets each month, we could need to add 15 tablets or more during each visit.

This commonly leads to 'Bridging' where the tablets expand so much, they stick to the sides of the dispenser tube, preventing them from dropping down and being dissolved. Because the environment inside your septic tank is humid, once you refill your tablet dispenser, the tablets will start to expand over the course of a month or two. Wastewater Chlorine Tablets are hydroscpoic, abrobing moisture from the air. There are two main reasons we believe it is unreasonable to provide such a service:ДЎ. This will adversely affect all drinking water and wastewater treatment for the entire country.ДЄdvanced Aerobic Systems does NOT provide a refill service for chlorine tablets. However, if used for wastewater, the microbes in the soil will evolve and we can have super bacteria that canвЂ™t be killed effectively. Pool chlorine is designed not to decompose in sunlight for obvious reasons. Sunlight breaks down the wastewater chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) residual in the soil and not swimming pool chlorine (trichloroisocyanuric acid). Aside from the explosive nature of swimming pool tablets, the EPA is concerned that their misapplication will result in вЂњsuper bacteriaвЂќ evolving in nature. If a homeowner uses swimming pool tablets in a wastewater system the first fine is $500 and subsequent fines are $2000. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a federal agency responsible for protecting the environment. Do not store chlorine tablets near gasoline because mixing vapors each container will spontaneously combust (start a fire without matches).

Chlorine gas is poisonous and corrosive.

Use gloves and well ventilated space when handling.

Tablets are caustic and emit chlorine gas from container.

Do not combine wastewater and swimming pool tablets because the combination will form an explosive compound.

Use only calcium hypochlorite DonвЂ™t use swimming pool chlorine tablets because an explosion will occur.

Homeowners are responsible for adding chlorine tablets.

Inspect weekly to ensure tablets are present.
