Chlorinators & Chemical Feeders

Pool chlorinators and chemical feeders are devices used to automatically dispense chlorine or other sanitizing chemicals into a swimming pool or spa. They are essential for maintaining proper water chemistry and hygiene in pools by continuously introducing sanitizing agents to kill bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms.

Here's how they work:

1. Chlorine Dispensing: Pool chlorinators typically use chlorine tablets or sticks as the source of sanitizing chemicals. These tablets or sticks are placed inside the chlorinator, which is connected to the pool's filtration system. As water flows through the chlorinator, a controlled amount of chlorine is released into the water, ensuring a consistent level of sanitation.

2. Automatic Feeding: Pool feeders automate the process of adding chlorine or other chemicals to the pool. They often have adjustable settings that allow you to regulate the amount of chlorine dispensed based on factors such as pool size, usage, and environmental conditions. Some advanced models may even have digital controls or sensors to monitor chlorine levels and adjust dispensing accordingly.

3. Types of Chlorinators: There are different types of chlorinators available, including inline chlorinators that are installed directly into the pool's plumbing system, and floating chlorinators that float on the water's surface. Inline chlorinators are typically installed during pool construction or as a retrofit while floating chlorinators are easier to install and can be added at any time.

4. Compatibility: It's important to ensure that the chlorinator or feeder you choose is compatible with your pool's filtration system and plumbing setup. Additionally, you should select a chlorinator that can handle the volume of water in your pool to ensure effective sanitization.

Overall, pool chlorinators and feeders offer convenience and efficiency in maintaining proper water quality, allowing pool owners to enjoy clean and safe swimming conditions with minimal effort.
