above vs inground chlorinator

personally, I am a fan of floaters with adjustable vents, that cost about ten bucks, when I want to use tri-chlor tabs.

I actually don't like them just because my filter is on a timer and when it kicks on, if my solar cover is on, the floating chlorinator doesn't circulate around the pool-in any case, I will continue to use the in line model i have plumbed in

I have an older Hayward inground in line chlorinator, that I use when I go on vacation. I don't find the adjustment valve very accurate and I only put a few pucks in at a time.

I have an older Hayward inground in line chlorinator . . . I don't find the adjustment valve very accurate

Bingo! That's one of the two reasons I hate those things. The other is the enormous flow restriction those beasts introduce:


That product is an interesting example of how even better companies like Hayward will continue to produce a known defective product, as long as it sells. It also illustrates why it's not possible to have a 'best-of-breed' pool equipment set up, if you stick to a single manufacturer!
