I have a Hayward CL220 inline chlorinator and I'm wondering what setting others are using? The adjustment dial goes from 0 to 10.
My pool is 16'x32' approx. 22,000 gal. and I'm running my pump 4 hr. in the morning and 4 hr. in the evening on 1,800 RPM.
I keep the chlorinator filled to the top with pucks and have tried 3.0 for a few weeks, which seem to keep the free Cl about 2-4 ppm and then suddenly one day it dropped to 0 ppm and I didn't notice until an algae bloom had occurred. I've now got it on 4.0 setting and free Cl is up to 16 ppm, so I'm having a hard time finding a stable setting.
If anyone could share their setting, along with how many hours per day their pump is running and their pool volume, that would be helpful!
Thanks,
Dave
Oh and on a side note, after my algae bloom I shocked and killed all the algae quickly, but my sand filter was not doing a great job of pulling out all the dead algae. So I tried a product called Sparkle Up from BioGuard, it's a very fine powder that's added to the skimmer to improve the filtering efficiency of sand filters. I only had to use 4 small scoops and it worked extremely well and cleared my water up instantly. It made my water brilliantly glass clear. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a sand filter!
