I have chlorine generator that has stopped working, can I put an inline chemical dispenser in the same location.

Yes,
you can, but I would install a valve before the chlorinator to prevent backflush. A check valve is critical if there is a heater before the chlorinator.

Hello Hummy - It is common to see a slight increase in pressure when you install a chlorinator and check valve after the filter.

Ok so I installed my rainbow 320 in-line chlorinator and added a check valve. My sand filter pressure gauge before the chlorinator was installed was 12-15 after back wash. It new reads 16-19. Its not alarming more high but it has increased. Is that
normal?

It is true that inline
chlorinators seem to have less problems. However, off-line systems are still a good option. If you go the off-line route, I would suggest flushing it out with warm water and baking soda from time to time. This will prevent the build up of chlorine residue in the hoses and check valves.

An
in-line chlorinator requires a horizontal length of pipe to be installed on. If you have a horizontal pipe that the chlorinator can mount to, then you can use it.

I have considered an off line chlorine feeder but from what I have read an in-line chlorine feeder is more efficient and less problematic. I am a novice at this pool equipment so someone could correct me.

Hello Hummy - Have you considered installing
an off-line chlorinator? You wouldn't have to change the plumbing if you go that route.

My return line to the pool is hovering at roughly 2.5ft in the air. If I lower the line to ground level I will have to move several other components. However having my feeder 2.5ft in the air seems like bad idea.

Doug - Because of the corrosive nature of the concentrated chlorine coming out of the chlorinator, it should always be installed after all other units. It should be the last unit before the returns to the pool.

Does it matter where the inline chlorinator is installed in relation to a heater and ozone/UV generator? The article says downstream from the filter. Does position of chlorinator in relation to these other 2 units matter? Thank you.

randa - The check valve would go between the heater or filter on the inlet side of the chlorinator. If you have limited room, you might consider installing an off-line chlorinator. See "How To Install a Pool Off-Line Chlorinator".

Chlorinator - You might consider putting in an off-line chlorinator. This only requires you to drill two holes in your piping which could be plugged later. See our guide on "How To Install a Pool Off-Line Chlorinator" for
detailed instructions.

We have a salt system and are
wanting to put in an inline chlorinator where the salt cell was. Is there a way to do it without having to cut any of the existing pipe? Incase we revert back to salt at some point.

Ted – I would recommend installing the chlorinator outside the pool house for safety.

Should the chlorinator be installed inside or outside of the pool house for safety?
