I am having some issues with my chlorinator not keeping my chlorine levels up and my pH and CYA and such are at good levels so I have been doing some troubleshooting lately and having to add liquid chlorine and the chlorinator isn't doing its job.
After watching this video I was wondering if you guys think he is right or if he is in fact making a mistake by not keeping the cap off of his chlorinator while the pump is turned on in order to allow the water to fill above the tablets and this would then give him water flow? There are several comments that say that is his problem and he is just doing it wrong. I do allow water to build up with the cap off and pump on before I close the lid so that isnt my issue.
I kind of want to buy a 320c that has the clear plastic so I can see if there is flow in there.
My chlorinator fills with pump on and cap off, it drains when pump is off and cap is off so I am not sure what else I need to check as to why my chlorine levels are not rising with the chlorinator. I run my VS pump at 2500rpms for 8 hours and I have ran it for a full 24 hours to test if that would raise the levels so I would think that would be fast enough to run the water through it. I have the valve on the chlorinator set to 5.
Also my tube is on the bottom of the chlorinator and not on the top like his. Recently I have read that if you use 3" tablets it needs to be on the top but I've seen a few videos of people with it on the bottom and using 3" tablets with no problem.
