Pool equipment

I just cancelled my pool service. I received my PS234 so I'm set for testing. A couple of questions; what is the best vacuum recommended? Also, I see there is a hayward chlorinator attached to the intake before the pump. Should I just ignore it or should I remove it?

You can ignore it--if you're not going to use pucks in it, just open it up all the way, and pretend it's not there :)
