NST Tablets: Should You Add Them to Your Pool Supplies List?

At Bonnie & Clyde’s Pools and Spas, we strive to bring you the latest and most effective solutions for your pool maintenance needs. Today, we’re excited to introduce a new addition to our product lineup: Poolife^TM NST® Prime tablets. These innovative tablets are set to revolutionize the way you care for your pool. So, should you add them to your pool supplies list? The short answer is yes, and we’re here to tell you why. 

Understanding the Role of Stabilizer in Your Pool

Before we start exploring the benefits of NST Prime tablets, it’s important to understand the role of stabilizer, or Cyanuric Acid (CYA), in your pool. CYA helps protect chlorine from being rapidly depleted by the sun’s UV rays. It helps maintain a consistent level of chlorine in the water, ensuring your pool remains sanitized and safe for swimming. The ideal CYA range for a swimming pool is between 20-100 parts per million (ppm).

However, maintaining this balance can be tricky. Regular chlorine tablets contain CYA, and each tablet can raise the CYA level by approximately 5 ppm. Over time, especially during the hotter parts of the season when tablets are used more frequently, the CYA level can easily exceed 100 ppm. When this happens, the effectiveness of chlorine is diminished, requiring you to add more chlorine shock to sanitize the water properly.

The Challenge of High Stabilizer Levels

The primary issue with high stabilizer levels is that they can only be reduced through dilution. In many cases, this means draining and refilling over half of your pool’s water—a daunting and costly task that we at Bonnie & Clyde’s Pools and Spas prefer to avoid recommending unless absolutely necessary.

Introducing NST Prime Tablets: A Game-Changer for Pool Maintenance

This is where NST Prime tablets come into play. These tablets are a breakthrough in pool care technology, offering a solution to the stabilizer dilemma. Unlike traditional chlorine tablets, NST Prime tablets contain no stabilizer, meaning they won’t contribute to the buildup of CYA in your pool.

The main ingredient in NST Prime tablets is Calcium Hypochlorite, known for its effectiveness in sanitizing pool water. These tablets are designed to dissolve slowly, ensuring a steady release of chlorine over time. For optimal results, we recommend using one tablet for every 10,000 gallons of water, along with our NST Chlorine Floater, to ensure even distribution.

Why Choose NST Prime Tablets?

• No Stabilizer Buildup: Say goodbye to the hassle of managing high CYA levels and the need for frequent water dilution.
• Efficient Sanitization: With Calcium Hypochlorite as the main ingredient, these tablets provide powerful and long-lasting sanitization.
• Slow Dissolving: The slow-release formula ensures a consistent chlorine level, reducing the need for frequent adjustments.
• Convenient Packaging: Available in 4.5 lb and 20.2 lb buckets, NST Prime tablets are easy to store and use throughout the season.

Important Safety Reminder

As with any pool chemical, it’s important to never mix stabilized-based tablets with calcium-based tablets like NST Prime tablets. Mixing different types of chemicals can lead to dangerous reactions and compromise the safety of your pool.
