Milliard Floating Chlorine Dispenser for Swimming Pool and Spas - Adjustable Release Chlorine Tab Floater for 1' - 3' Tablets

So, I bought this cute little fish that we named Jeffrey to chlorinate our new spa and we immediately started having the same issues that every other 1-star review was having... Dead fish floating on his side not really doing his job but I knew he still looked cute and had a lot of potential. I treated this situation like I would treat an employee with skills who just needs a little motivation to step up and be a rockstar. (Even rockstars fall off the stage every now and then.) The engineers over at Milliard didn’t give this guy a fair shake in the design process, so I found a very precisely calibrated instrument in the backyard (in the form of a concrete rock) to add to the mix to weigh him down a little. That didn’t give us the results we wanted... So we threw a Hail Mary and added a second rock (once again, found in the backyard but you can use any rocks from any location like the beach, the road, a construction site, blah, blah, blah) to the mix and Jeffrey is on fire chlorinating the spa like there is no tomorrow. I even take him out sometimes when the free chlorine gets too high. Jeffrey is everything I ever expected out of a chlorinating fish and more!! The kids love him and he always has that grin on his face like he just ate the cat (the same face the cat would have if he ate the fish). So, ignore these bad reviews and buy you a Jeffrey and go ahead and order a set of balls for him too... My only complaint is that he doesn’t come with his own pair. Happy hot tubbing!

So cute and works great! 2 3-inch chlorine tabs fit great in this fish. I’ve had it in my pool for about 2 weeks now, and my chlorine levels are always perfect. When the chlorine tabs get tiny, I take them out, put them in my skimmer, and then put 2 more tabs in the fish. I would say you’d be replacing the tabs once a week. To open, you have to unscrew the fish from the base. Then drop the chlorine tabs. Then screw the top back on, which sometimes takes me a few tries to get right, maybe it’s just me. Then you drop it into the pool and done… so easy to use!

2018 Aug 27 UPDATE: Vents are working great. I top off the chlorine tabs every week or two. As with the previous copy, this one floats perfectly. Looks really cute in the pool. I've updated my rating from 2 to 5 stars! 2018 Mar 15 UPDATE: I received a replacement unit! The vents on this on seem to open OK. I've updated my rating from 2 to 4 stars. I've been busy with school and the pool has been covered. Thus, I have not yet tested it with chlorine or floating. I will post another update in the next month or two. Sorry for the delay. 2018 Feb 9 ORIGINAL Review: My copy floated just great. However, the vents were fused shut...so the chlorine was not diffusing into the water. Could not get the vents to open. Returned it. I would like to try another one. If I do, then I'll update this review.

This is one of my favorite nonsense purchases I’ve ever made. I had no idea these kinds of chlorine dispensers even existed until I discovered this one on Amazon. As soon as I found it, I knew we had to have it and ever since I put him in our pool, I’ve enjoyed looking out every day and see him swimming around. I like that it holds up to 3 tablets at a time. One of my favorite features is when the tablets dissolve, the fish falls over on his side, so there’s no guessing when it runs out! Another great thing about it is the color is so vibrant and he also has a cute face. The materials seem to be high quality. Definitely a purchase I will be happy with for years to come!
