No, you should not use pool chlorine tablets in your toilet. Pool tablets contain trichlor which is too concentrated for toilets and can damage plumbing, create toxic gases, and pose serious health risks.
Used pool filter sand can be used in gardens after thorough cleaning and testing, but it may contain chlorine residue and accumulated contaminants that could affect plant growth.
No, you should not use pool chlorine in your washing machine. Pool chlorine is much more concentrated than household bleach and can damage your washing machine, clothes, and create dangerous chemical reactions.
Yes, you can clean pool filters with vinegar, but only cartridge and DE filters - never sand filters. Use a 1:1 vinegar to water solution for calcium buildup removal, but this method works only for mineral deposits, not organic contaminants.
Never put pool filter cartridges in your dishwasher as they can damage the appliance and contaminate future dish loads. Simple rotation cleaning and proper chemical soaking will extend filter life much more effectively.
