We vary the drain position in keeping with the ph adjustment that might be needed. We are fortunate that our ph stays pretty stable, changing ever so slightly from time to time. Most of the time I would say our drain is in the closed position. I'm not quite sure how to answer the brine waste...

Yes, you are correct about the process by-product that is drained from the unit. According to the manual, its your choice whether to drain or not. Opening the drain lowers the ph slowly, closing the drain raises it slowly. The unit does not monitor ph, you must always test and adjust as needed...

The location placement was one of my primary concerns as well. (I did not want to see a big ugly black tank staring at me next to my pool!) Since the unit uses gravity to trickle the chlorine into the pool, I did not want it any further away than necessary.) I was able to put the unit outside of...

If I could figure out how to attach a file to this posting, I could attach the units manual so you could learn for yourselves. The only connections to the unit are 1) incoming water 2) outgoing drain, which is the by product of the chlorine generating process and finally 3) the chlorine line...

I am not Mr. Tucker, nor have I ever spoken directly to him. Nor am I a member of his family, or an employee. I have no agenda other than to pass along the information I thought this forum might be interested in hearing/learning about this product from someone actually using it. It is what it...

I can tell you from my own Poolvergnuegen Pool Cleaner, that there is a float installed on the hose directly connected to the unit that allows you to adjust to keep the unit from climbing the walls. You simply move the float. Also, if the unit does try to climb the walls a little, it reverses...

Boy, you people are so skeptical! I AM NOT A SALESMAN OR IN MARKETING FOR THE CHLORINE GENI, for goodness sakes! I am only trying to give you the most technical first hand knowledge of a consumer. You all sound pretty knowledgeable about different SW systems, with no one having direct working...

To answer about my electrical-mechanical engineering knowledge: father was an EE, and a physicist, designed guidance systems for Lockheed and taught my brother and I about electricity and reading schematics before we left grade school. I attended college, but found the challenge of mechanical...

I estimate my unit to be about 3 yrs old, and with a projected life span of perhaps 20 yrs, I have a long time before I have to replace the cells. If this stays running as it should, I should re coup my investment before next spring, considering the cost of chlorine, whether liquid, dry or...

Okay, I'll ask a really basic question about the GFCI that keeps tripping: (keeping in mind that I come from a family of Journeyman Electricians!) how OLD is the GFCI? Do you know they can go bad? And they can really go bad if they have had a history of tripping a lot? I apologize if you already...

I purchased my suction side Pool Cleaner (it had been previously manufactered as a Jacuzzi Tracker, then became the Poolvergnuegen Pool Cleaner) less than a year ago. I got the 4 wheel version. I had been using the Hayward Pool Vacs, in all their different versions, for almost 30 years in my...

To all you suspicious of my first posting: no, I have absolutely no connection to the makers of the Chlorine Geni other than being a satisfied customer. I am not marketing for it or any other product, just thought this forum might want to hear from an actual user. I have had other exposures to...

I have one of these Chlorine Geni units, bought used off craigslist. Best investment for my pool I have ever made. The unit takes tap water, runs it through a reverse osmosis filter to elimnate water minerals, then trickles it into the brine tank. With a timer, it sends the filtered water into a...
