Can’t see pucks in “clear” Rainbow 320 Chlorinator Tube

[SniperFire]

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 through again!

Thanks in advance!

It looks like you can replace the tube for about $40...

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.

You may want to check and see if they will replace the plastic under warranty. It has oxidized due to the chlorine tablets and they may have used a plastic that wasn't chlorine resistant enough for it to oxidize that badly in a year's time. If they won't replace it try polishing the plastic with plain, white toothpaste and a soft cloth. I've used toothpaste to polish the haze off of 14 year old car headlights so it might work for your situation.

Will try giving them a call!

Following. I washed mine with hot water and a new toilet bush. It seemed to remove a lot of the chlorine tab residue but it’s still cloudy. This is the second one I’ve had and it never holds up to the tabs. I don’t know why they even sell it?
