Hayward chlorinator lid hard to open.
Each hayward chlorinator has a removable lid that allows you to drop in a slow release trichlor chlorine tablet.
Many times the chlroinator will have a vacuum inside of it preventing you from removing the lid so if you open the air bleed screw on the filter that will allow air into the system.
Do you have any suggestions.
The process is similar for a rainbow chlorinator as well.
If the lid is well and truly stuck you may not get it off without breaking the chlorinator.
If you don t have the 9 of clear horizontal pipe close to the ground available to hard plumb the cl200 chlorinator you can install an off line cl 220 model.
Off line hayward chlorinator install.
Nope all dissolved despite chlorinator turned off.
Last year we replaced our chlorinator with a hayward cl 100.
I ve got an off line hayward chlorine tablet feeder on my pool it has a 1 4 hose that taps off some water from the pressure side of the pump before the filter and it outputs via 1 4 line to the return lines after the filter.
Make sure your pump is off before you try to open the chlorinator.
Make sure you are prepared for the possibility that you may break the chlorinator leaving you unable to circulate pool water.
Same problem this year past 2 weeks high levels off reader and set at off looked inside after 1 week to make sure chlorine tabs were intact.
It also has a flow control valve that allows you to adjust the flow of water.
No plumbing involved but you do need a power drill and a 3 8 drill bit for the injection fittings.
If you end up replacing the chlorinator get one.
It is very difficult to remove the cap to add chlorine tablets.
Late last season noticed chlorine levels high and unable to get it down.
No wonder cannot get level down.
