Will try giving them a call!

The chlorinator is less than 12 months old; hoping I don’t have to replace it. Doesn’t appear to be a manufacturer’s defect; just not sure if there’s a maintenance step I’m missing.

Hello!! Looking for tips for my “clear” Pentair Rainbow 320 chlorinator. It came mostly see through with a yellow tint; but after a year, the tube is so cloudy that it’s hard to see if there are still pucks inside without opening it. Hoping someone has an idea of how to make the tube see...

Thanks - helpful. So practically speaking, as long as FC level drops in darkness, regardless of CC level, I need to keep adding chlorine?

Definitely agree that CC should be zero. More trying to confirm if consumed FC creates (if only temporarily) CC. If it does, then I can infer that when FC is being consumed and CC increases that the FC is creating CC and the pool should be getting cleaner. That said, if the FC is consumed and...

Hello all - seeking guidance on chlorine levels :-) Just opened my pool - 38k gallon, solid cover, water clear without green tint, 51 degrees on average, CYA @ 30ppm Dropped in liquid chlorine to get to ~4ppm at noon yesterday; ended up at 1.8ppm FC and 0.2ppm CC at sun down; then 0.2ppm FC...

Thanks for the quick reply! Pool looks crystal clear. Then again, its looked that clear since Monday when it was opened. Hopefully won't have to SLAM for all that long. Side question - the pool has a Nature 2 Pro vessel. Does it make sense to use it while i get the hang of taking care of...

New pool owner here... Just ditched the pool guy after I got a Taylor 2006 test kit and tested the pool at a CYA of over 200ppm (and the pool guy said that wasn't an issue). Ended up doing a drain / refill and some initial balancing with dry acid and calcium chloride (over the last 2 days) -...
