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?
 Reply

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.)

I am looking for a heavy duty chlorinator after going through many Hayward units. Can this model be used with a 25k gallon pool and is it built better than simply the 300. Thanks.

The 300-29X would not be built any stronger than the 300 the only difference is that the 300-29 has an extension so it can hold more tablets than the 300. I do like the Rainbow 300 better than Hayward Chlorinator as it seems to be a little more durable.

If I take the flow control dial out of the system, I get more flow than if I have the dial in the system and set to maximum. Is this normal? Or is the control dial supposed to have a level of restriction even at maximum setting? If I set the dial to maximum, should I have the same flow rate as if the dial wasn't even in the system?

Robert, The flow control does put restriction on the flow through the chlorinator even if you have the dial set to max.

I have several of the free standing Rainbow chlorinator's installed on my pool route pools. The last couple of years, I have had to replace dozens of the check valves; often times weekly because the little ball jams. This is costing me a small fortune. Has the manufacturer changed in the last couple of years? I would not use this chloriniator if their was something else. I have not heard much good about the Hayword chlorinator either. Any ideas?

Hi, Don. I'm not aware of any changes made to the check valve used in the Rainbow 300 chlorinator. I' not sure you'll have better luck with the Hayward CL220 but it might be work looking into. Other than that I do not have any other ideas or suggestions.

Replaced old chlorinator

Written on 6/27/2017 by Guest

Quite easy. Removed old parts and installed new parts exactly. After removing old hoses, cleaned PVC pipes and installed new tubing. All parts cam with the new chlorinator. Checked for leaks, tightened everything, and enjoyed new chlorinator.
