Good afternoon, I am beginning my second season of pool ownership and have followed TFP guidelines within a few months of the completion of the build. I replaced the original Nature 2 cartridge at the 6 month mark so I could remove the metal balls in this original one. My question is, does this look safe enough to put back in?
I used a hack saw to cut the device enough to remove the balls, had to glue the bottom ring back on because it split apart when I forced it open. My concern is that I don’t want anything breaking off and getting into the plumbing causing bigger issues.
I’ve read just about every post on this site about the use of these cartridges and I don’t think it is worth it! The unit is a combo piece of equipment with the chlorinator, I very rarely use tricolor tablets (only on vacation or when I need to bring my CYA up a little). I use 10% liquid chlorine and test with my Taylor K-2006C kit. Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated!
