Question

How many 3" chlorine tablets are need in my 5500 gallon pool?

Answer 1

I would try one first.  If it is trichlor it dissolves overtime into the water providing chlorine.  Use in a floater.  Also the correct way to do it is to first get your free chlorine level up to 1-3ppm with 5 max by using liquid chlorine such as sodium hypochlorite 12.5% pool chlorine.  

1ppm for your pool 6.13oz of SHC12.5%.  Establishing the free chlorine is important since the trichlor does not dissolve that fast.

To keep chlorine in your pool water adding conditioner, stablilzer or cyanuric acid to at least 10-20ppm will preserve the chlorine in the pool by protecting it from the UV rays of the sun.

You're welcome!!
