Clorox toilet tables are entirely too weak to use in any size pool as to reach the correct level would be very expensive - much more costly than pool tablets.
If you have an above ground pool or an in-ground pool maintenance is always going to be costly.
If you do not have a regular pool supply store then I would suggest that you Google pool supply stores with your zip code and pay a visit to one or two to discuss your pool maintenance. You do not have to buy anything if you just need advice and information.

It is very difficult to do proper pool maintenance without knowing all about type and how much chemicals you need for your size pool (gallons of water).

Also, pool supply companies have sales on needed chemicals for your pool so you can many times save money over a period of time.
Remember - your pool could be unsafe to use if proper maintenance is not adhered to.

A slightly similar question has already been asked here: www.thriftyfun.com/Using-Toilet-Bleach-Tabs-in-a-Swimming....

It is safe to swim in a pool with Clorox toilet tablets. The important thing is to have a good pool test kit and test your chlorine ppm to make sure you are staying within safe levels. At these times, you should keep your pool pump running and wait until your chlorine level drops to normal range before entering the pool.

You may run into times when you need to hyper-chlorinate, or shock, your pool to kill algae or other reasons. At these times, you should keep your pool pump running and wait until your chlorine level drops to normal range before entering the pool.
So, the amount of chlorine you need in your pool depends on several factors, including the size of your pool, your cyanuric acid level, and how quickly your chlorine is used up from the sun and contaminants.
If you have a large pool, using these tablets will be expensive.

Is this an inground pool, above ground pool, or a plastic wading pool?

If it is an inground pool or above ground, check with the makers of your equipment to be sure. I would hate to see you try and do damage to expensive pumps and such.

They are too weak to clean a wading pool--meaning you would need a bunch of them which would cost a fortune. It is more economical to clean a wading pool with actual liquid bleach. Their site gives a nice guide for how much to do the job based on the size of the wader:

Post back with more info or what you learn from the makers.

Probably not ideal. You can research the type of pool you have to see what you need.

I would probably buy the tablets that are specifically designed for use in pools. The ones designed for toilets are probably about the same cost in the long run and the pool ones probably do a better job. I'd consult with a pool store to get the best advice.

Clorox tablets in pools.

Step 1
I don't see why not.

Step 2
Try one or a few depending on the size of your pool.

Step 3
See if the water clears up.

Step 4
If you think you have put too much in the pool let it sit overnight to let the chlorine dissipate.

Step 5
Chlorine is a gas.

Step 6
Whatever is not used by the bacteria, fungus, etc. in the water will come out as gas.

One tab makes the pool water a beautiful blue but we still use chlorine pool tabs and baking soda to clean and sanitize the pool.
