I have copper plumbing to and from my pool underneath the concrete, but I have PVC for all equipment. The return line (which is copper) would only be a foot or two before the outlet line of the chlorinator. Is this bad for the copper, or will it be diluted enough as to not harm the copper?

Just replaced a hayward with an inline rainbow clorinator, the system adds too much clorine even when set to the 1st division on the dial. The pool is 20,000 gal. the clorine level reads about 7 ( just a guess as it is beyond the reading of my test kit.) Called the factory and they were of little help. They suggest only using 3 or 4, 3 inch tabs, instead of the 7 tabs I was using. The reason for a automatic unit is to allow long unattended use I thought. I am thinking of modifing the input line diameter before the control valve with some type of reducer. What do you think?

Does the chlorinator take the place of shocking the pool once a week also? Do i have to add liquid chlorine any more?

In reply to Rob.

Hi Rob,

The Chlorinator gets installed on the discharge side of the pools filter system otherwise known as the return line. The chlorinator gets piped in after the filter and after the heater if you have a heater. If you have a heater you will also want to install a check valve after the heater but before the Chlorinator.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I hope this has helped you.

Hi Cheri,

It’s time to replace the Chlorinator, Its not worth trying to fix it because the parts would be more then the new one.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions

I have this chlorinator on my pool I have had for 5 years. I have had a problem with algae this year unlike any other! I have just noticed that part of the time my chlorinator isn’t filling with water and dispersing chlorine! I can take off the top and it fills with water quickly, and I put the top back on. But I can go back later and check it and there’s no water in it. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Please help!! Can’t afford to keep treating for algae!!
