Need input for chlorinator (CL200) idea..

9 years ago

I Have a 28k gal pool and am currently replumbing entire system above ground which includes Intelliflo 2vst pump, FNS PLus60 DE Filter Plumbed 2'' until it gets to pool plumbing circuits which are all 1 1/2" . 1 line for 3 returns , 1 line for skimmers, 1 line for Main Drain and 1 for the pool cleaner. I was thinking of running my CL200 off line with 1" pipe so not to lose flow(GPM) (The pump is also used to run Polaris 360 (no booster pump) on the separate 1 1/2" cleaning line. Is this feasible and would I accomplish getting more flow (GPM) through system and continue to properly chlorinate pool. Just seems like the pathway through the CL200 is very restrictive, Thanks

My suggestion is to use the off-line version of this chlorinator model. The in line model is restrictive.

f you decide anyway to install the in-line model, install a check valve before the unit to prevent chlorine from backing up. The concentrated chlorine can damage equipment such as your heater. This will happen on the down time if your system is on a timer.

Yes, The check valve was part of the plan. That is the only real difference between the two, no? The inline has a built in check? Thanks !

The in line does not have a built in check valve. The off-line has check ball as part of the fitting that screws into the body of the chlorinator. I would purchase spare fittings as they do gum up frequently. That generally comes as a kit with the chlorine tubing and pipe taps.

Sorry that's what I meant... thanks for the advice I will have some extra fittings on hand.
