    In Line Pentair 320 Chlorinator Flow Rate with VS pump

    I know most people on here don't like the 3" puck chlorinators because of CYA buildup, and I understand that. But I've got 3 under 3, travel frequently for work, and it rains enough in Houston that generally the dilution will keep CYA below 100. ANYWAYS, I just retrofitted my Hayward Tristar...

    Bad Reading from SWG

    New pool (completed May 2023). So all equipment is 3ish months old. Saw some white flakes coming out of the jets recently and figured the salt cell was dirty. We went out of town and my Father-In-Law who was caring for the pool turned off the Chlorinator (chlorine levels were HIGH). White...

    Hayward T-15 on standalone VSP

    I just got a new Tristar WS3203VSP 1.85HP, have had no luck getting the pump to connect to my AquaLogic controller. While I try to figure out why the two won’t talk, is there a way to have the T-15 chlorinator run as intended, without the VSP being wired into my AquaLogic? I’m able to start...

    Need help with possible broken Salt Cell

    Hey guys! First timer here! The classic scenario... bought a house with an inground pool, 2 years on everything was fine but nothing was really explained to me and I had to learn by myself.

    Re-pipe because salt cell before heater

    Hi all, I want to redo the pipe setup for my "new to me" pool. Last year was year 1 and I replaced anything that was broken 1:1; i.e. Hayward Heater bombed, Hayward salt 'n' swim controller and cell bombed, and the sacrificial anode hadn't been changed since 2013. Honestly, the heater and salt...

    Inline Chlorinator Cap Leaking

    Hello Team, I want to replace the gasket in my screw cap on the top of my chlorinator because of a water leak, but all the labeling on the vertical tube is faded out (where I would insert the chlorine pucks). This means when I try to shop for one I won't have anything to cross-reference to...

    Reg Chlorinator not working, but the boost does work (salt)… ?

    Above ground pool, installed mid last year. Intex pump/chlorinator. This seems to be a trend even from the start of installation… there are 2 chlorinator plugs going into the water flow (1 reg, 1 boost)… i always seem to loose chlorine over a week or two when the system is in auto mode (no...

    I have a Hayward OmniLogic with a Hayward VS Pump and salt chlorinator with a sense and dispense. The system is in a configuration with a shared heater/filter for a pool/spa with a spillover. I have found through my own trial and error that heating the pool while in spillover is REALLY...

    Chlorinator - Should It Be Full of Water?

    Dumb question from a newbie... I don't have any pucks in there since I'm using the TFP Liquid Chlorine method to good results so far. But I am planning to go on vacation for 2 weeks and planning to fill the chlorinator up with pucks while I'm gone to simplify for the house sitter. I don't...

    Tired of Buying Salt Water Generators/Boards, but Should I Switch?

    Hi, everyone. Thanks in advance for your advice. We just had our 22k gallon pool rebuilt with aluminum coping and we're in the process of filling it back up with water. I've been using a Hayward SWG since we bought the house in 2012. As of last summer I was on my third generator. Also last...

    How to remove/close old offline chlorinator connections?

    The previous owners installed an offline chlorinator (Pentair Rainbow 300). I don't want to continue using the chlorinator because there is no check valve to protect the heater, and there is not enough space to easily install one. Is there a way to remove/cap off the hose connections sticking...

    Looking for replacement chlorinator

    Hi. I have a Hydropools inline chlorinator that is leaking on me again. I changed the O ring, and it still leaks. The design of this piece of equipment is poor. The top is extremely difficult to remove and put back on. To get it tight enough, I have had to whack it with a mallet on one of five...

    Why would a chlorinator be BAD for your pool?

    Just purchased my house last year and it came with an inground 28k gallon inground pool with inline chlorinator (downline from the heater) I had a professional come out to make sure the pool and equipment was in working order and everything passed with A+ rating. However, a note left by the...
