Pentair Algae-Gon Chlorine Tablet Holder (Snap-Adapt Pole Accessory) | 542068
The Pentair 542068 Algae-Gon Chlorine Tablet Holder is a pole-mounted accessory that securely holds a standard chlorine tablet at the end of a telescopic pool pole. It lets you apply chlorine directly to problem areas on pool surfaces to help reduce dark algae and other surface stains without placing tablets in the skimmer or leaving them sitting on the pool finish.
Key Features
- Direct surface application: positions a chlorine tablet right where you need it (steps, corners, tile line, and stained areas).
- Snap-Adapt handle: attaches to most standard telescopic pool poles for quick use.
- Helps target stubborn spots: useful for treating localized algae/staining areas during cleanup.
- Simple, reusable accessory: rinse after use and store with your other pole tools.
How to Use
- Attach the holder to your telescopic pole.
- Place a chlorine tablet in the holder.
- With the pump running, press/hold the tablet against the affected surface area for controlled, spot treatment.
- Rinse the holder after use and remove any remaining tablet before storage.
