Product Information

Full details

The My Garden Floating Pool Chlorine Dispenser with Built-In Thermometer is an essential tool for pool and spa owners seeking a simple, hands-free method to keep their water sanitized and at an optimal temperature. Ideal for swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas of various sizes, it combines long-term chemical dispensing with real-time temperature monitoring in one durable unit. While it provides excellent convenience, users should note that they must still manually test their water chemistry regularly, as the dispenser does not automate water balance testing.

FAQs

Can I leave this in the pool while people are swimming?

It is highly recommended to remove the dispenser from the pool while people are swimming to avoid potential skin irritation and to prevent the unit from being damaged.

How do I know what setting to use for the flow ring?

Start with a smaller opening and test your water chemistry after 24 hours. Adjust the ring wider if chlorine levels are low, or tighter if levels are too high.

Is this dispenser compatible with both bromine and chlorine?

The dispenser is designed for chlorine tablets; using different types of chemicals simultaneously is not recommended as it may cause dangerous reactions.

How often should I check the thermometer?

You can check the temperature whenever you visit the pool; it is particularly useful to check before entering a hot tub.

Will the sun cause the plastic to become brittle?

No, the unit is made with UV-resistant materials specifically designed to maintain structural integrity under long-term sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

Chlorine levels are too low

Open the adjustment ring on the base to allow more water to flow through the tablet chamber.

Chlorine levels are too high

Tighten the adjustment ring to restrict the flow of water and remove some tablets from the dispenser.

The flow ring is stiff and won't turn

Soak the bottom of the unit in a bucket of fresh, warm water to clear out mineral or chemical buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combined functionality saves space and reduces clutter
  • Adjustable flow ring prevents over-chlorination
  • Durable UV-resistant plastic resists fading and cracking
  • Simple, tool-free refill process

Cons

  • Requires manual weekly water chemistry testing
  • Flow ring may occasionally get stuck if calcium buildup occurs
  • Does not provide digital alerts or notifications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your dispenser, twist the top cap to open the unit, insert your chlorine tablets, and close the cap securely. Adjust the lower ring to the desired opening width based on your pool size. For care, rinse the exterior of the dispenser with fresh water every few weeks to remove salt or chemical residue. If the flow ring becomes difficult to turn, soak the bottom portion of the dispenser in warm water to dissolve any accumulated mineral deposits. Always remove the dispenser from the pool before entering for a swim to prevent damage to the unit or skin irritation.
