I installed a liquidator and am using 10% liquid chlorine in it. I have the valve wide open on it and the ball only goes up to maybe 2 or three and the chlorine level will come all the way down to about .5 if I don't have chlorine to the pool. I have looked at pics of others installations and it seems to be installed right. not sure what I can do. The pool is a 24 ft above ground and I have a brand new 1.5 HP Hi Flow Waterway pump. Any suggestions on what I should look for?
Liquidator not keeping up

AG pools often struggle with the Liquidator because they have little head. You can restrict return flow a little or consider doing the 3/8" upgrade to the Liquidator to improve flow.
I already have the 3/8 upgrade installed. Restricting the return line will help? any suggestion on the best way to do that and how much? Thanks for the help!
I gave my sister my LQ and we have to keep the suction valve partially closed on her pool in order to get enough suction for the LQ to have enough flow to keep the FC up. She has a very short suction line.

I don't have a valve in my suction, just the one in the line before the gauge with the ball in it. Am I suppose to have a valve (there is a check valve) in the suction side? Maybe I will need to install one in there. Maybe I should have kept the original smaller valves and used that on the suction side instead of the 3/8 upgrade stuff?
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm talking about the line from the skimmer to the pump when I said suction. You have to restrict the flow through that line before the LQ hookup.
I see. Thanks for the clarification. I don't have a valve there. However, I may be able to rig up something else to restrict it somewhat. Thanks for the suggestion.
