Steadichlor tablets offer a simple and effective means of chlorinating water without the need for complex dosing equipment. Steadichlor tablets dissolve in water to provide a slow and steady release of chlorine. The dissolution time is approximately four hours in tap water or 12 to 24 hours in static water. Steadichlor tablets are made from calcium hypochlorite. In use, the tablets do not provide substances that are not normally present in treated tap water.

Chlorine level monitoring
When chlorination is to be carried out to disinfect water, a residual free chlorine of at least 1 mg / l must be achieved in the treated water. Note that it will usually be necessary to add a higher dose of chlorine to meet the chlorine demand of the water.
Therefore, the dosage of Steadichlor tablets should be controlled in response to the free chlorine test readings taken with the treated water. Testing should be done with Palintest DPD 1 tablets and a chlorine test kit. Details of the Palintest DPD test and the full range of available test kits are available on this website (product menu – browse by parameter – select chlorine), and the relevant products are listed below.
