Product Description
Slow Dissolve Calcium Hypochlorite Disinfecting Tablets
Product Overview
Bio-Sanitizer® Disinfecting Tablets are slow-dissolving calcium hypochlorite tablets manufactured specifically for the disinfection of wastewater, potable water, and process water. Containing 70% available chlorine, these tablets provide a dependable, long-term source of chlorine. The unique chemical structure automatically adjusts the chemical application to the rate of flow, ensuring consistent water treatment and effective bacteria reduction.
Disinfection Performance & Advantages
Bio-Sanitizer disinfecting tablets provide effective bacteria reduction while strictly minimizing overall chemical consumption.
The slow-dissolving formula ensures reliable disinfection even during intermittent peak flows up to four.
The tablets maintain a uniform chlorination rate during significant runoff periods lasting up to six hours.
The chemical action prevents bacterial regrowth, maintaining water purity and safety downstream.
Facilities achieve a predictable chlorine residual while minimizing the release of calcium hypochlorite into the environment.
The tablets offer a safer and more convenient disinfection method than hazardous gas or liquid chlorination systems.

How Bio-Sanitizer® Disinfecting Tablet Works
Bio-Sanitizer® tablets utilize concentrated calcium hypochlorite chemistry to provide powerful disinfecting action. The tablets are manufactured to dissolve slowly and evenly, creating a controlled chlorine release that naturally adapts to the system's flow rate.
This mechanism allows for uniform residual control, preventing both over-chlorination and under-treatment. The tablets ensure stable performance during intermittent flow and can manage runoff events for up to six hours without affecting effluent quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Bio-Sanitizer tablets in my swimming pool?
No. Bio-Sanitizer tablets are specifically formulated for wastewater disinfection and potable/process water systems. They are not designed for swimming pool use and should not be mixed with pool chemicals.
How do these tablets handle variable flow rates?
The tablets feature a slow-dissolving formulation. As water flow increases, liquid washes over the tablets more frequently, releasing more chlorine. When flow decreases, the release rate drops, preventing over-chlorination.
What is the active ingredient in Bio-Sanitizer tablets?
The active ingredient is Calcium Hypochlorite, providing a minimum of 70% available chlorine for effective oxidation and disinfection.
Are these tablets EPA registered?
Yes. Bio-Sanitizer tablets are EPA-registered chlorine tablets and comply with strict environmental and safety regulations.
How should I store the tablets?
Store them in their original, sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, direct sunlight, and other chemicals.
What makes these different from standard chlorine tablets?
Bio-Sanitizer tablets are slow-dissolving chlorine tablets for wastewater that do not contain cyanuric acid (stabilizer), which is common in pool tablets but often undesirable in wastewater treatment due to regulatory limits.
What safety gear is required when handling the tablets?
You must wear rubber gloves and safety goggles or a face shield. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing as the product is corrosive.
Can I use these tablets in a septic system?
Yes. Common applications include septic tanks, sand filters, and residential wastewater treatment plants, provided the system is set up for tablet chlorination.
