Model # HC3340
High capacity for 1 in. hard plumbing installations. Holds up to 40 lbs. of tablets. Treats up to 61,000 gallons with Bromine and up to 332,000 gallons with Trichlor. Approx. dimensions 22" tall x 6" wide.
Is there a feedback mechanism that tells the unit the chlorine balance in the pool? Is this a way for me to automate addition of clorine to keep it always at the correct level? Or, just another place to put the tab aside from the the drain basket?

There is a dial on this unit which has a setting from 1-10 If you set the dial on 1 it will be letting the least amount of chlorine to the pool and if you have it set at 10 this would send the most amount of chlorine to the pool. So you can automate the feed of chlorine to the pool but you will still need to manually test your water. We do not recommend placing tablets in the skimmer basket because this high concentration of chlorine goes directly back to your pump and can cause corrosion to your pool equipment. If you do not go with the automatic chlorinator we would recommend at least going with one of our floating chlorinators so you do not damage your equipment you may view our floating chlorinators here http://www.inyopools.com/chlorinators_floating.aspx

What is the difference between an inline and offline chlorinator?

An inline chlorinator would be plumbed directly inline with the plumbing. For an existing pool, this would mean a section of pipe would need to be cut out to install the chlorinator. An offline chlorinator attaches to existing plumbing by chlorinator tubing (holes would be drilled into existing pipe to attach the tubing.)

Can you use granular chlorine with this chlorine feeder?

Hello Daniel. Per Pentair's published documents for their Automatic Chlorine/Bromine Feeders, " Pentair Automatic Chlorine/Bromine feeders are for use with slow dissolving trichlor or bromine tablets only."
