    Proline Chlorinator Not Working

    HELP! We just got our pool up and running at the end of July. We got this pool used from a friend. It sat in his storage shed for a year. The Proline chlorinator still had chlorine granules stuck in a big lump still in it. After my husband dug the lump out the best he could, we decided to...
