Has anyone tried this CHLOREASE

[Waterworks]

We have new chlorine generators made specifically for hot tubs called the 'Tubby'. It requires no flow at all to generate enough chlorine to keep the spa sanitized. I'm sure this system is similar, but on a larger scale to produce sufficient chlorine for a pool.

I am going to get one from Ebay and will let you know the results. I am just unsure what kind of salt or how much salt I need for a start-up.

I am also curious if the level of chlorine produced is adjustable. It says up to 18000 gallons while my pool is just under 9k gallons so I don't want to have too much.

I have had a Chlorease SWG installed in my AG pool (also 18' round) since last August ('05)... to date all is going very well. I'm even further south of you slowtan so we didn't have any winter to speak of -- I didn't "close" the pool but also didn't maintain it as if it were fully "open" either during the winter months. To my delight everything (levels) stayed right where they should and we were swimming in March when we had that lovely triple digit temps. hit us as if it were July.

With the Chlorease there is no ability to adjust levels however... only on and off. If you purchased one and are now trying it out I'm sure you've discovered this already.

I do kind of like the idea of being able to set/adjust levels but at this point for me I don't see the need to spend the money to be able to do that while all is working just fine without that ability. In time if that ability proves to be a necessity I would consider the couple of name brands that offer that and have been recommended often here -- but at this point I'm enjoying my first full summer with a SWG at a lower price tag. If there are lessons in that to be learned... I'm up for it! So far, so good. :-)
