Three years ago, I had to replace my inline chlorinator. I had only owned the house for a year at that point. Ever since installing the new Pentair Rainbow, it was a nightmare. It seemed like I could never get the flow right. First, I thought it was because there wasn’t enough of a straight away upstream from it (that was Pentair’s best guess when I called them). Long story short, I could never get reliable operation. Sometimes it was fine, but sometimes it wouldn’t disperse enough chlorine. Also, since installing a variable speed pump, which I love, it added a whole different complication since low flow meant higher efficiency for pumping but not enough flow to properly chlorinate with the chlorinator.
St some point last year, I finally ditched the thing and started using one of these cheaply little floaters, and I love it. It’s reliable, it’s easy to check…it’s so much better then the mess I had with the inline chlorinator!
I just wanted to post in case anyone else is facing a similar issue. If anyone has specific questions, I can explain more about the specifics of the struggles I faced with it and what I tried, but I’d strongly recommend anyone who is struggling with theirs to ditch it and go for ol’ cheap and reliable floaters!
