Sick of my Chlorine tab feeder please help finding replacement
Hi, I've had a great pool season following the advise on this great forum.
However I'm in great need of advice regarding a troubling chlorinator.
This chlorinator has violated me, offended me and it's time to go. It eats all my expensive o rings jn a matter of months. It leaks from the side until I pack enough boat grease to lube a fleet of ships (It worked for a couple months), once that stops it leaks from the top cap nut. My only option is to run my pump on slow speeds to ensure no leaks.

Referencing the image and choices below please suggest which option or product you recommend. My cya never climbs above 30.
It's also possible that using a 3HP pump on 1.5" return line through an inline chlorinator is a bad idea.
Other major considerations: The union on the input side of the feeder has almost cracked no visible leaks from this source. Another consideration I have a hayward side multiport that uses 1.5" fittings. Suction side is 2" pipe and leading to multiport.
So my question is this do I:
1)go all out and install a nicer in line feeder (cmp power or pentair) Install 2" fitting out the multiport and connect using a shorter direct run.
2)Buy the same chlorinator for ease of install.
3)cut a straight pipe and say good bye to auto chlorinator. (I would set my pump to 24/7 and place tabs in the skimmer or use a floater tied off.)
sometimes i get the whole chlorinator filled with water. Or worse when slowing the pump a ton of air cavitates in the chlorinator.
I currently supplement BBB with tabs.
I haven't slapped on a ton of marine grease this time because more water is leaking put the top nit then the sides. I have very little plumbing skills.
Thanks
