Thank you so much! Super helpful! I was told to keep our chlorine at 3 in summer in Texas (we have Paramount UV FILTER). With all the heat we need to add 1 tablet a day to keep it at 3! Thank you again

[@CrystalEdgePools]

You are so welcome!

Hi @crystaledgepools, we have the PowerClean Tab Ultra, same setup as you have here. When we clean it out, put a few tabs in, and restart the pump (low setting on the chlorinator), it fills with about an inch or two of water and stays about that full for a few days. Then after a few days it fills all the way up to the lid. We can't find any documentation on whether this is normal or not. Should this fill all the way to the top or is there potentially something wrong w/ ours? Thanks!!

[@CrystalEdgePools]

This is normal. No worries! Just make sure the gasket is good under the cap and snug (hand tight)

My chlorinator, the same one you have in this video, is dribbling water inside the chlorinator instead of spraying the tablets with the knob on full go. Do these get clogged? Nobody has a video of what the cause is. Any advice?

[@CrystalEdgePools]

Yes, they can get clogged. Disassemble it, check the spray nozzle and straw. Also check both sides of it where the quick disconnects attach. I recommend blowing everything out with compressed air and reassembling. All plastic, all easily disassembled/reassembled. ***Make sure you dont lose any gaskets!***

How many hours a day is the uv filter running for?

[@CrystalEdgePools]

The uv should always be on when the pump is running. Its just light and very low power consumption. The only time they shut off is with a slow down of flow below the flow switch protection

What's the best and most reliable UV system for a pool with 200,000 gallons of water?

[@pjtill1]

The sun (if it's an outdoor pool).

[@CrystalEdgePools]

We like the Jandy commercial "low, medium or high pressure UV systems" for that volume of water.

[@alexherrera3918]

Is it normal that the water level in the chlorinator is up to the led? If it is not normal, what are the potential causes? Thanks

[@CrystalEdgePools]

Hi alexherra3918! It would be very helpful to answer your question if you could provide the make/model of your chlorinator.

Proactive Protection. I also use seatbelts, lock my doors at night, keep my tires rotated, etc.
