Hayward Automatic Chlorine Chemical Feeder In-Ground and Above Ground Pools

I finally refused to shell out money for another mineral pac and $30 chlorine cartridges. The install on this unit was fairly easy as I don't have a heater and a complicated PVC setup. I was able to reuse the fittings from old chlorinator just having to remove old Teflon tape from them (you tube to the rescue). They fit perfectly saving me a few bucks from purchasing new ones. I will update after the pool is open on performance. Update 6/21 Opened pool this thing worked like a champ . No leaks my filter pump is noticeably quieter. Recommended Update 9/25 Pool closed No problems whatsoever with algae blooms. Pretty much this performed flawlessly all summer no leaks or problems removing cover. I think they may have redesigned the cover lid. Just had to press down release button and screw off lid once it passed the release it was minimal effort. I never used the lid tool I purchased with it once. That may change next year. I unscrew the pressure knob on the filter cover before I remove the lid so to allow some water to escape seems to help when I unscrew the lid. Performance after the first year was flawless as it kept my water crystal clear. Should have bought this years ago. Highly recommended.

Got this to replace our 16 year old chlorinator that we had installed when we got the pool. We already had the filter and motor replaced a few years back they went out much earlier but the chlorinator we had which was the same exact one as this, lasted the whole time and lasted longer than anything in the filter system! So I can say it’s definitely a good purchase and it’s definitely worth paying the extra 50 bucks for the name brand! It’s works like a charm and clears up a 30,000 gal 9ft pool quickly and with ease! And that’s just with the chlorine tabs without any shock or any other chemical. I got it installed by a family friend that works for a pool store so that definitely saved me the headache of installing it myself or asking my husband to do it. But he did it super quick so I think it was a pretty easy install! Fit perfectly since we had the same exact model previously.

These Hayward chlorinators work well for several years then they gunk up and you have to buy a new one.

Not a lot of info on this unit anywhere so I will share what I learned from buying this unit. First off for whatever reason that is a black and white picture of the unit, it is actually the same color scheme as the hayward 900 filter holder which was a big deal to me cause I redid my entire pool system and wanted everything to look uniform. Second, the unit comes with the mounting base that IS removable! I spent forever lookin for the unit without the mounting base because I wasnt planning on mounting it, I finally gave up and ordered this one and when I received it realized the mounting base was removable. That was a big deal to me because I didn't want the mounting base floating in the air looking like I'm skipping a step not mounting it, underneath the mounting base has kind of a sleek design making it look it was designed not to be mounted( it was designed for either application). Third, I read a lot of scary things of this unit blowin up or when opened blasts a deadly amount of chlorine in your face, I believe those things happened due to user error. The first thing I do is open c900 filter top or using air vent to relieve pressure on filter holder(no vent on chlorinator,maybe they should have one?), that way there's no pressure built up in the chlorinator then the lid can safely be removed without even a smell of chlorine being noticeable which was a huge relief because I was terrified of it at first. Fourth, you can put as many dissolving tablets in there as you can fit just make sure you use the same tablets don't mix ever because that can cause chemical reaction and potentially blow up(that goes back to the user error section) buy one brand and stick with them. Theres not tray or holder you just simply drop them in. Fifth, screwing and unscrewing the lid could not be any easier, there's a tab you press in and then spin the top to unscrew, when screwing back on keep screwing down until the tab clicks back into place( I was a little skeptical at how easy it was and was concerned I did something wrong, it was just that easy). I have a 15000 gallon pool 15'x30' pretty standard size pool and I keep my chlorinator on level 3. It's been about a week and I went through 3 tabs already. All in all this is a way better alternative then placing tabs in skimmer or floaty thing you have to fish out when you wanna check the tabs. This is an ABSOLUTE must have on ANY pool system there is no better way to chlorinate your pool. I hope this was helpful as these were ALL the questions I could not find an answer to before I made this purchase.

Awesome. Easy install if you also purchase the Hayward SP1500UNPAK2C 1-1/2-Inch Socket by 2-Inch SLIP Flush Union Connectors. Does what it is supposed to do. Haven't had the pool water tested yet to see how it is doing as far as chlorinating. Nice that you do have the ability to dial it in. Also good to not have the chlorine tabs in the skimmer basket. Some review discussed trouble with opening. Non-sense. Screw the lid on until it clicks into the little locking mechanism, that is all. Do not go beyond or over-torque. Careful when opening, I open it until you hear the seal break and the gas come out, it will be a bit pressurize, so you will hear it like opening a bottle of soda. Let it "off gas" and turn away for a moment. Then open the lid and do the same. Once it disapates, and does so quickly, you are fine. That whole process may take 30 seconds. Just don't crack it open and stick you face in there to look, the gas will overwelm you. Chlorine gas is no joke. Just use a tiny bit of common sense and there is no danger or issue.

Disconnected the old one and this one went right in its place. The locking tab for the lid is fantastic. Makes it much easier to get on/off. I also went from filling the old chlorinator once a week to filling this one once a month, so I’m saving in chlorine, too. Great replacement.

We are so happy with the way this works & how much money we are saving in chlorine. Wish we heard about this sooner. One of the best investments we’ve made for our pool!

Travaille ,très bien pour contrôler le chrole de la piscine

The item is fine, however the shipping/support/service was extremely bad. I didn’t here from them for over 14 days, so I decided to buy another one from another supplier , and cancel this item. However I just got the message back “cannot cancel”. I tried to cancel again, with same result. Then some days later the item was sent and I now got two

Fantastic product! It solved my long lasting pool problem. This unit helped me not only to get rid of algae surprises but also it makes the water shiny and clear if proper chlorine pocks are purchased

I was able to replace the chlorinator myself. It worked right away. The price was similar to pool shops and no cost for delivery so even better for me.

Good
