Rainbow Chlorine Feeder...Where?

[sag365]

We are finally putting in a heater and all new equipment for pool and spa. Question, if I put in a new chlorine feeder, should I attach it to the pool return only, and not include it on the spa return? Thought being, we do not over chlorinate the spa while being used. We will probably use the spa a lot more than the pool, and when back in pool mode it will return to spa and spillover.

Thanks.

I recently put in a pool at my house. I have the same setup that you have described. Sounds like a reasonable approach to me.

Just remember, with a puck feeder you have ever rising levels of CYA/Stabilizer. High CYA is the root cause of why many folks show up at TFP wondering why their pool is green.

Have you thought about other chlorination options such as a SWCG, Stenner Pump or Liquidator?

While knowledgeable, controlled use of a puck feeder has it's place It probably should not be the prime source of chlorine in a location like S/W Florida where the pool is runing 12 months of the year.

The feeder I have now is the same one. During winter the feeder is not used. Really only used during the summer and then only filled with two pucks. Don't want none of that lockout!
