It's been about a week and I went through 3 tabs already.
All in all this is a way better alternative then placing tabs in skimmer or floaty thing you have to fish out when you wanna check the tabs. I hope this was helpful as these were ALL the questions I could not find an answer to before I made this purchase. Does what it is supposed to do. Haven't had the pool water tested yet to see how it is doing as far as chlorinating. Nice that you do have the ability to dial it in. Also good to not have the chlorine tabs in the skimmer basket. Some review discussed trouble with opening.
Screw the lid on until it clicks into the little locking mechanism, that is all. Do not go beyond or over-torque. Careful when opening, I open it until you hear the seal break and the gas come out, it will be a bit pressurize, so you will hear it like opening a bottle of soda. Let it "off gas" and turn away for a moment. Then open the lid and do the same.
Once it disapates, and does so quickly, you are fine. That whole process may take 30 seconds.
Just don't crack it open and stick you face in there to look, the gas will overwelm you. Chlorine gas is no joke. Just use a tiny bit of common sense and there is no danger or issue. I absolutely love the way this system regulates the chemicals. We had a previous system on our pool and we had to buy the special containers of chlorine to put in them. It was really costly. It took about 2 weeks to get the settings on this system just right for my pool and I completely expected that since we were always playing with our old system.
We are located in Tucson, AZ and between the heat, the solar heating system, and the monsoons this season, I thought for certain we were going to have difficulties.
I only have to feed new tablets in about every 2 weeks to keep it full. The chlorine tablets wear down evenly. The chlorine levels in my pool have never been so consistent. I would recommend this over and over again and I have.
We have had a clear pool since installing this system. We had this model chlorinator on one of our previous pools and it worked great. After several years, just as anything else, the lid gasket may need replacing but it's a easy inexpensive fix. I've had both in-line and off-line chlorinators before and I prefer the in-line. The off-line chlorinator we had constantly had parts drying out and needed replaced more frequently.
Seller was excellent to deal with. Shipment came quickly and packaged satisfactory.
Haven't installed yet, but should be no problem. Great item, easy to install and I suck at handyman stuff and works as advertised.
I notice that I go through a LOT more chlorine tablets, but that's to be expected. Although the reviews were not real good on this chlorinator I decided to buy it anyway as I have never had issues with Hayward products. It works like a charm. Turned on full you get a nice strong chlorine level, on medium it keeps our chlorine right where we need it so where others stated the chlorine control did not work, it does on ours.
We regularly run the pump for six hours a day on a timer unless we have heavy usage of the pool then we run it a few more hours. We have an 18x36 inground pool, 25, gallons and we place eight 3" tablets in the chlorinator once a week and I test the water daily. Don't know why we waited 30 years to add this convenience to our pool. We hooked this up to an existing pool with no issues. No more ruined clothing due to liquid chlorine splashing. That's a huge bonus.
Initially, the quality seems high and it does chlorinate the pool. It also makes a lot of noise. The device seems to be very sensitive to turbulence on the entering side. After i trimmed the plastic flashing, the chlorinator became quiet. This is a quality defect, but easy to correct. See all reviews.
