Extend your pool chlorinator life.

Use these tips to prolong the lifespan of your pool chlorinator and save on repairs or replacements.

Clean regularly.

Start by regularly cleaning the chlorinator cells. Over time, calcium deposits and other mineral build-up can reduce the chlorinator’s efficiency. Remove the cell every few months, soak it in a specialized cleaning solution, and rinse thoroughly to keep it functioning properly. For best results, check the cells more frequently during peak pool season.

One of the reasons why Best Pool Chlorinators recommend and sell Australian Made K-Chlor Chlorinators is because they have self cleaning chlorinator cells, which save pool owners a lot of time during their maintenance schedule.

Location.

Proper installation is another factor in longevity. Ensure that the chlorinator is placed in a location that’s well-ventilated, shielded from harsh sunlight, and protected from extreme weather conditions. This will prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

Leak checks.

Next, regularly check your system for leaks and corrosion. The chlorinator should be free from rust, and all seals should be intact. If you notice any corrosion, clean the affected areas promptly to prevent further damage. If your chlorinator is equipped with a salt cell, make sure the salt level in your pool remains consistent, as imbalanced salt levels can damage the system.

Maintenance.

Lastly, follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Regular servicing and timely replacement of worn components, such as the cell or flow switch, will keep your chlorinator operating at peak efficiency and extend its service life.

Which KChlor Pool Chlorinator is best for you?

It depends on the size of your pool. To calculate how many litres are in your pool simply multiply the length by the width and then the average depth (depth at the deep end plus depth at the shallow end divided by 2).

Even if your pool is not rectangular in shape, this is still a good way to measure it, as it is always a good idea to overestimate the pool size anyway, so the chlorinator you choose does not have to work too hard to maintain it. Therefore any curves in the pool can be ignored.
