There is a cap on the top of the chlorinator, you should pop the small cap off, remove the bolt on top, the press tap and twist off. If not you will reduce the life and mess up the seal.
Is it ok to leave tabs in the chlorinator overnight when the pump is off? I was told not to as the pressure could build and it could "explode", but it's becoming a pain to remove the tabs every night and put them back in every morning. Thoughts?
While I have heard of this, I have never removed them from mine and had zero issues for the last 2 years of owning it. I just don't fill it to the top, but rather 3 to 5 tablets at a time.
Should the chlorine tabs dissolve over time in the chlorinator? I installed a chlorinator last year and noticed during the course of the summer that the tabs I placed in it never seemed to dissolve.
Thanks for the vid. But... Where you posted a link to the chlorinator and the tabs you used... You posted two copies of the link to the chlorinator, not the tabs. The link you posted under the tabs was the same link to the chlorinator. Thanks
So many thanks! You were so clear, and instructive. Truly, big help. Well done.
Thank you sir!!! Much appreciated. Great information for this new pool owner.
So let me ask you this, if you use this device do you still have to use liquid chlorine?

Rather replace the seal every once in a great while than jump through all those hoops every time I check/add chlorine.
Can you pack the tabs in there or is there a reason you are only using 4-5?
Sir, how does the water get in and out of the chlorinator? The black vertical tube that is inside is that the discharge side?

I had a Hayward and never had a problem.
I need to clamp my 2 feet on it and turn with the special wrench otherwise I can't get the lid off..and I do lube it..clip is broken
Thanks for posting . How do you know when the pucks are fully dissolved . Or do you just open and check once in a while ?
Open and check them, after awhile you'll know approximately how long they'll last until you need to replenish

Yes, they dissolve. I usually replenish about once per week.

Oops! I will have to to fix that. Here is a link to the individually wrapped tabs I use. amzn.to/2XJIBBJ
Can you put liquid chlorine in there as well or just tabs?
Tablets only, the liquid wouldn't stay in the canister but a few seconds.
What do you do when you can't get the lid off
If you have it to tight, use a hammer and chisel / flathead screwdriver to get it to turn with a few taps.
