What model inline chlorinator is this?¿ Need new o-ring.

Check it out. It has a sticker with a number A420935. But I cannot find out what piece of equipment this is or more importantly what oring it takes.

Notes: I have all Hayward equip for what it’s worth. I don’t use this stupid thing but it has a small leak and the current oring has calcium etc precipitate all over it. It is sized for 3” pucks. Thanks y’all!!

Awesome thanks @JamesW ! Ordered my R172009 cap oring from Amazon, it’ll be here tomorrow!

Love this place!!

Ok. Another question…

If I wanted to simply remove the inline chlorinator, looks like I would need a 1/2” NPT plug for the smaller red circle. That seems easy enough. But then I’d need a cap, perhaps that would accept an oring, for the larger red circle. Any idea the thread and size of the bus red circle and if I could get a cap that would seal?

This is all you need to remove the Rainbow chlorinator. Nothing special, no o-ring required.

Ok awesome thanks. Teflon tape, or any other seal on the threads?

I used a little tape on mine, but there was a thread on here saying not to use tape because it can cause excessive torque on the fittings and break something. I didn't use gorilla strength to tighten it, and it seems to be fine.

 

[Katygreys]

Copy that. I’ll do done searching myself and decide. Prolly fine either way. That so much for the help!!!

There is a set screw that you need to remove before unscrewing the chlorinator.

Look into the hole at the base.

Plumbing for Chlorine Injection

I’m preparing to install my Stenner pump and tank and had a crazy idea for an using an existing port to put the injector. Can I use the port on the existing chlorine tab feeder and just have the liquid chlorine dump into where the tabs would be? I would just block off the water feed line and...

@JamesW man!! Thanks. I’m 98% sure I would have missed that and may have gotten too rough on the feeder when trying to unscrew it! Thanks again!!

When you screw on the cap, you can use PVC glue if you want and it will be permanent or you can use Teflon tape and sealant.

If you use glue, just put it on the male threads and screw the cap down snug.

You have to be quick and steady when using glue.

You can use a little bit on the female threads but don't use too much or it will go into the pipe.

If a little bit goes into the pipe, it is not a big deal.
