    Default Chlorinators

    I'm going to replace the pool frog with a standard chlorinator (frogger cover is leaking, new cover is about 40, o-ring alone is about 20) I dont want to waste more money on this product.

    Should I go with inline or offline?

    The frogger is inline, and has 2" pipe in and out, the hayward inline chlorinator I'm looking at has 1 1/2 in and out ports, if I use this one I'll have to reduce my lines. Will this cause any problems with pump or flow?

    Thanks
    Rob

    Do NOT use the Hayward -- it's a major flow restriction. I've got a picture somewhere - the primary port on that thing won't pass a quarter!

    If you are going to install a trichlor feeder, use the Rainbow 320:
    Pentair Rainbow 320 Automatic Chlorine/Bromine In-Line Pool and Spa Feeder

    However, I am NOT recommending that you do so; I don't know enough about your pool. You really ought to fill out the Pool Chart so we will:

    Thanks Ben,

    I filled out the pool chart. I'll research the Pentair.

    Currently running the frogger without the mineral cartridge, the tabs seem to be disolving really fast, aside from the leak at the cover. I found a rubber gasket for $3 to use temporarily on the cover until I decide which way to go.

    Thanks for your reply,
    Rob
