I\u2019m Gerry Bulfin, a WQA-Certified Master Water Specialist here in Santa Cruz, California.<\/p>\n<p>This is our Question &amp; Answer episode where I pull interesting questions from phone calls, emails, and chats, and share quick answers to help you with your water treatment challenges.<\/p>\n<h2>Question From Goldie<\/h2>\n<p>Goldie wrote in and said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy husband has been using pool chlorine tablets in our 3,000-gallon holding tank. The tannin discoloration is gone, but now I smell chlorine in the shower and toilet, my skin feels dry, and I\u2019m worried about damage to our septic system. Is it safe to keep using these tablets?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Great question, Goldie. Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Pool Chlorine Isn\u2019t for Drinking Water<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Most pool chlorine tablets (trichlor, dichlor, lithium hypochlorite) are not made for potable water.<\/li>\n<li>They may contain cyanuric acid or other additives not ideal for bathing or long-term use.<\/li>\n<li>The chlorine recommended for drinking water is calcium hypochlorite, which is NSF-certified and safe at proper levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Bottom line:<\/strong> pool tablets will kill tannins, but they\u2019re not the safest choice for your household water.<\/p>\n<h2>Impact on Septic Systems and Skin<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>High chlorine residuals can interfere with the bacteria your septic tank needs to break down waste.<\/li>\n<li>Over time, this can slow or stop the \u201cseptic action\u201d you need for a healthy system.<\/li>\n<li>Chlorine also dries out skin and hair, which is what you\u2019ve noticed already.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A better approach is to keep chlorine residuals low \u2014 septic experts usually recommend 0.2\u20130.4 ppm maximum going into the tank.<\/p>\n<h2>Safer Alternatives<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Use potable-grade chlorine (sodium or calcium hypochlorite).<\/li>\n<li>Install a small automatic chlorinator so dosing is consistent instead of \u201call at once\u201d with tablets.<\/li>\n<li>Add a carbon filter for the whole house. This removes chlorine taste and odor, protects your skin and hair, and prevents excess chlorine from reaching the septic system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Takeaway<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pool chlorine works, but it\u2019s not designed for drinking water systems.<\/li>\n<li>Switch to NSF-certified potable chlorine and consider adding carbon filtration.<\/li>\n<li>Keep septic-safe chlorine levels and avoid long-term exposure that dries out skin or disrupts your tank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/well-water-chlorinators-j-pro\/chlorinator-well-water-package-j-pro-22-with-solution-tank.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13609 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/j-pro-22-prop-chlorinator_372x500.jpg\" alt=\"J-PRO-22 proportional feed chlorinator with digital pump on top of white solution tank for treating well water with chlorine.\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"13609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/j-pro-22-prop-chlorinator_372x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/j-pro-22-prop-chlorinator_372x500-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/j-pro-22-prop-chlorinator_372x500-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/j-pro-22-prop-chlorinator_372x500-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/j-pro-22-prop-chlorinator_372x500-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Resource<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/well-water-chlorinators-popular-and-low-cost-disinfection-for-home-water-well-systems\/\">Well Water Chlorinators \u2013 Popular and Low\u2011Cost Disinfection<\/a>\u201d<br \/>\nThis article explains how chlorinators work in well systems and why pairing chlorination with carbon filtration helps remove chlorine taste and protect septic systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cleanwater.leadpages.co\/serve-leadbox\/JNmX4KGRNpe93JjqziyHrH\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/F_Sy0wg2jYNDpeKDwS6Emf_0LVPh8u0nk_fJePXKuoWrerG8mIogRqwnkPDsBLimLLbp96imzm7mHqMipeKvJg=s0\" alt=\"The Complete Guide to Home Chlorination Systems\" width=\"510\" height=\"224\" data-leadbox-popup=\"JNmX4KGRNpe93JjqziyHrH\" data-leadbox-domain=\"cleanwater.lpages.co\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/go.appointmentcore.com\/book\/eZeZdVQj\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13741 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/call-request-cta-1.jpg\" alt=\"Blue banner with a phone icon and text: \u201cRequest a Free Call \u2013 1-888-600-5426.
