Hi all,

I have a Pentair offline chlorinator, and I want to decommission it.

Unfortunately the tubes are all dry rotted, I broke the actual unit, and I want to see if there’s a quick way to cap / plug these.

Or do I need to think about replacing the PVC?

HEY!!!! Where are you in Cleveland?

I had the same problem, here:

There is no good solution as the insertion points are in the PVC tube. If it were the elbows, I'd tap and put in a plug. The PVC pipe just doesn't have enough purchase.

To avoid heartache, I'd replumb.

You can save the elbows on either side with the right size socket saver:
