Have you checked the chlorinator o-ring? There has been mention of problems w/ suction due to faulty o-ring. Check it, use some silicone lube, or replace if o-ring is damaged.
Just out of curiosity, is it a Hayward chlorinator?

By any chance did the pressure rise on the filter after the change of the chlorinator? Any restriction on the either the return or suction side will affect the vacuum. If the chlorinator is an inline version and it has some sort of blockage or restriction, it could reduce the flow of water and thus reduce the vacuum.

The chlorinator is a Goldline Controls Aqua-Rite (I think it's a Hayward company). I'll take a look at it. Thanks!
