It’s critical to keep your pool cleaned, but let’s admit it, it’s also a hassle. We understand how time-consuming it can be to maintain a pool. Fortunately, there are a few robots who can assist
Other than robotic pool cleaning, you’ll have a few allies on your side. The automated chlorinator is a useful addition. We’ll look at different types of automated chlorinators, that however much they cost, how long they last, and much more in this post. We hope that by the end of this article, you’ll have a fair idea of whether or not an automatic chlorinator is a great investment for you.
What is a Pool Automatic Chlorinator?
An automated pool chlorinator is a piece of machinery that adds chlorine to your pool periodically. Rather than dumping liquid chlorine or utilizing a floating chlorinator to add chlorine to your pools, you could place it in your automated chlorinator and let it dispense at your desired rate.
We want to be clear that the focus of this essay will be on automatic chlorinators rather than chlorine producers. If you’re looking into salt chlorinators or salt chlorine producers, check out our comprehensive information.
How Does an Automatic Chlorinator Work?
An automated chlorinator is a device that connects directly to your pump and filtration system and disinfects the water that returns to the pool. An automatic chlorinator, instead of placing chlorine immediately in the pool as a floating chlorinator does, administers chlorine steadily from outside of the pool.
If you do have an above-ground pool or plan to have one, ensure sure the chlorinator you purchase is compatible with above-ground pools. Some automatic chlorinators could be used in both in ground and above ground swimming pool, while others are more suited to in ground or above ground pools.
Pool Volume
Based on the chlorinator and your setup, automatic chlorinators can function with pools of varied sizes. Some automated chlorinators, for instance, can sterilize pools up to 40,000 gallons.
Whereas many chlorinators are capable of handling larger pools, others are built for smaller pools, so double-check this before you buy.
Do you have any idea how many gallons your pool holds? This is how you’d find out.
To calculate the contact area of your pool, multiply the length by the breadth. The average depth is calculated by multiplying the shallowest level by the deepest depth and dividing the result by two. To find out roughly how many gallons of water your pool holds, use the following formula:
Surface area multiplied by average depth multiplied by 7.5
An automated chlorinator uses what kind of chlorine?
Chlorine comes in four different forms, as we mentioned in most articles about on pool sanitation: pill, powder and granule, liquid, and gas. Dissolvable pool chlorine sticks or tablets, such as Trichlor tablets, will most likely function with your automatic chlorinator.
Bear in mind that various size sticks or tablets are used by different automatic chlorinators and automated chemical feeders, depending on the instructions.
