Is there a o-ring or gasket there that might be leaking, and if so , how do I replace it? Hello Joyce- here is a link to the Rainbow Parts Diagram. In the diagram, I would like you to look at 17, 18A, 21, and 22 on the diagram. To access this area, you would need to remove 18A, the locking screw.

I have a 12, gallon in-ground pool. How many tablets should I put in the Pentair at any one time?

Do I fill it up or use a n umber associated with the size of my pool? Hi, You can fill up the chlorinator but set it on 1 or 2 depending on where you want your chlorine level to be. Also you would want to monitor the CYA level of your pool, if high reduce the amount of tablets and set at a higher output level.

I have a variable speed pump and there is not enough water coming into the unit as these pumps are designed to save money by running at a lower speed. I don't want to run the pump higher just to get water into chamber. Hi Ross, Variable Speed Pumps are designed to run on a low speed to save money, however certain equipment need a certain amount of flow to operate properly.

If at the current speed your pool is being properly chlorinated then it's ok. I recommend refilling the chlorinator if and when the pool chemistry calls for it. If the chlorine level is maintaining a high level then either add less or none until that level lowers a bit.

If low then a shock and refill is necessary. If its maintaining a level chlorine reading then yes refill.

For an existing pool, this would mean a section of pipe would need to be cut out to install the chlorinator. An offline chlorinator attaches to existing plumbing by chlorinator tubing holes would be drilled into existing pipe to attach the tubing. Is there a feedback mechanism that tells the unit the chlorine balance in the pool?

Is this a way for me to automate addition of clorine to keep it always at the correct level? Or, just another place to put the tab aside from the the drain basket? There is a dial on this unit which has a setting from If you set the dial on 1 it will be letting the least amount of chlorine to the pool and if you have it set at 10 this would send the most amount of chlorine to the pool. So you can automate the feed of chlorine to the pool but you will still need to manually test your water.
