Hayward Compression Nuts

[DorsalSpine]

I have an old Hayward inline chlorinator that I don't use. I'd like to just cap off the openings since the fittings are leaking. I can find replacement compression nuts but I just want a solid nut to cap the opening. I can't find anything. Suggestions are appreciated.

Silly question, but I have to ask in case I'm seeing it wrong in my head ... It's definitely an INLINE and not an OFFLINE chlorinator? In-lines are cut into the plumbing, while offline chlorinators can be off to the side and just have the small 1/4 tubes that poke into the PVC.

You are correct. I misspoke. I have the 1/4 tubes and the compression nuts. I just want to cap the openings. I haven't used the chlorinator in years.

I think you can find/use a variety of simple plastic caps to close-off those ports. I seem to recall others doing it as well, but I don't recall how they did it. I'll poke around the forum to see if I can find an old thread or two. Maybe someone else will reply as well.

Removing Hayward Offline Chlorinator - plugging holes

Hi, I have a hayward offline chlorinator hooked up which I havent used for 2 years. The only reason I even have it hooked up is because of the two holes I had to drill in my pvc piping to install it. Does anyone know what I can use to cap these holes off so I dont have to hook it up anymore...

Capping off the chlorinator

I inherited a pool with an inline chlorinator. TFP has educated me on the dangers of stealthy CYA levels, and I avoid using pucks on a regular basis. The chlorinator has been turned off for some time. Here's the problem: it's leaking. Here's the question: is it possible to remove the chlorinator...

Thanks. I think I'll try the brass caps just in case I ever want to hook it back up.
