Hi guys and gals, I sat down and considered my chlorination options. I think I want to stick to the traditional method that has worked well for me: use a chlorinator and add bleach every night. The cost for chlorination compared to a swg is about half using the traditional method, and though it is more labor intensive, time consuming, and unforgiving, it is also less complex.
The two products I'm considering:
Pentair Rainbow
Amazon.com : Pentair R171096 Rainbow 320 Automatic In-Line Chlorine/Bromine Feeder For Pool And Spa : Swimming Pool Chemicals And Supplies : Patio, Lawn Garden
CMP
Custom Molded Products POWERclean ULTRA In-Line Chlorinator w/ Clear Glass Lid - 25280-100-000 - INYOPools.com
Manual

Which will work best for a VSP operating at low speeds. I've noticed complaints on the Pentair in low speeds. The CMP has it's issues regarding flow rate control. Both seem to clog with residue from tabs. Somehow I never experienced a clog or tight knob from a 15 year old hayward, the lid is a different story. Your input is greatly appreciated.
