MILLIARD Chlorine Floater, Floating Chlorine Dispenser with Thermometer

Bruce, our english bulldog, does not like this as it floats in the pool doing it's one job. I however am glad it works just fine and have no issues with it.

Exactly what I needed at a good price

I bought two of these to replace my two old faded and cracked skimmers. These are easy to use, unscrew the lid, drop a couple of jumbo tablets in, screw the lid back on, and you're done. Although I don't need it for my situation, it would have been nice to have a loop on one of the sides where a bungie or other cable could go. This would allow you to tether the floater to the pool sweeper so that it never gets stuck while floating around the pool. If you pool jets are positioned well, then this isn't a problem as there won't be any dead spots where the floater can get stuck. I'm not knocking any stars off because I wasn't looking for that feature on my floaters, but I can see other people wanting that feature.I've only had the new ones for about 5 months so far. No fading or cracking so far.

I like this dispenser, but it has its flaws. This does what is intended, but at the same time I wish there had maybe been more options with a dispenser and a thermometer in one, just so I could compare.Pros - Does what it says it will do. The thermometer is very accurate. It is right on with another thermometer that we have, and that is awesome. I like that it stays upright even with nothing in it. I have read reviews on a lot of dispensers where this is a problem - not here.Cons - It is THIN material. I mean really thin, which may be why the plastic has also bleached, which surprised me. I had a really cheap one of these before (no thermometer) and it was at least as thick, and never stained. Perhaps my biggest issue is that the adjustments are basically nonexistent. It seems pretty much all or nothing. There is slight variability, so I would say there are like 0, 1.5, 2 levels for dispensing (still, the 1.5 level is almost 2 I have found which is why I don't even call it 1).Overall, I like this, and think it is acceptable, but could definitely be better. If it had more variability in dispensing, like 4 true levels, it would be a 5.

You can't beat the value in this product. This review may be lengthy, but hear me out.The first week of using this floater, we thought it was a price of s***. The bottom half would consistently separate from the top and we were frustrated with it and ready to send it back when we discovered that there were 3 tiny prongs inside the top that should hold both prices together. In today's world, most people spend more time reading reviews than the actual instructions, I'm guilty. By the time we found the problem, there was only 1 prong left and it alone was able to keep the 2 piece together. With a little help from some crazy glue, it worked wonders.We have a huge pool and had been struggling with free chlorine. We had bought one of the more expensive sinking chlorinator and was not very happy with it. This one, even though its cheaply made, has the turn dial at the base that allows you to regulate how much chlorine dissipate from the floater. One floater has corrected the free chlorine problems we had. Figured the sun and chlorine will quickly damage any floater therefore the price point was great and we will purchase again.The thermometer feature was not a purchase factor for us hence I chose not to inclide a review regarding it.

You can't fill it all the way up with chlorine tabs or it was sink. But otherwise its fine!

Very tough to read the thermometer as the numbers and the thermometer scale is very small. I had a previous one similar to this one yet the thermometer was a bit larger and much easier to read

As expected, it has plenty of tablets and the thermometer is a nice out of touch. You can’t beat the price!
