Hayward Chlorinator Installation CL200 

I’ve had a CL200 for a while now but couldn’t find a fitting or unions for it that I liked. Thank you for sharing the part number, I just ordered a set from Amazon!! Great video!

I need to replace mine but I’m apprehensive, you made it look so easy that I might just give it a try. You did a good job.

I have a 24 round that holds about 14,500 gallons and use this exact chlorinator. I keep the dial set at 5 and put 5 tabs in every Friday morning all summer long. My pool is always clear and usually tests good every week with no issues. Keep in mind I run my 1 1/2 horse pump through a sand filter everyday from 7am until 7pm

Nice work! all the intersecting pvc starts to make my head spin. Thank you!

Pipe cleaner is NOT primer. It does slightly break the surface to allow it to be thoroughly cleaned, but isn't an actual primer. Primer chemically reacts with the PVC.. there is an actual reaction that softens the plastic and begins off-gassing. There is then is a specific chemical reaction between primer and cement that must occur for a proper join.. that doesn't happen if you only use cleaner. If you want confirmation, dab a tiny amount of cleaner on your finger.. then dab a tiny amount of primer on a different finger... the primer will start to BURN after 15-30 seconds or so.. because it has different chemicals in it that are actively attacking your skin. Use primer if you want a proper PVC fitting. If you are worried about the visual, Oatey makes clear primer.. beige label just like the clear cement. If you want to cut corners and save time or money by eliminating one of the 3 steps, then eliminate the cleaner. Primer can do what cleaner does almost as well (although the contaminants it takes off of the surface then end up IN the weld, which is the point of a separate cleaner product).. but cleaner CANNOT do what primer does. A more in-depth description is... a proper PVC joint is NOT a glue joint. It is a plastic weld. The cleaner eliminates grime and scours gloss off of the surface. The primer penetrates the plastic, softening it on both sides of the joint, prepping the surfaces to chemically bond together. The cement bonds with the reaction on both sides of the joint, fusing the plastic together.. not just gluing it together, but fusing it like a weld fuses two pieces of metal.

Thanks for showing us the way. I am going to try

Thank you sir all the way from Chile

If you tighten the glue top and then store it upside down it seems to store for longer. Atleast it does for me so I figured I'd share the tip

Awesome man Wow you made that look easy and its not

I will be doing this tomorrow! Thank you!

I definitely want to do this! Thanks Chris!

Nice Job,, THank you..

Just remember that adding more pucks will increase the chlorine (and CYANURIC acid) that flows into the pool at any given setting on the chlorinator as more pucks will be dissolving at the same time. I put about four 3” pucks a week into mine for my 21000 gallon pool. I’d like to install one of those chlorine genies in order to use saltwater to add chlorine without having to have the whole pool be saltwater but they are crazy expensive.

Does this Chlorine Feeder only work with liquid chlorine or is there an Automatic Chlorine Feeder that would work with granules?

I wanted to see how the clorine pucks get added. does water fly out or is it easy? can the pump be on when adding pucks?

Hi there, great video! But with this chlorinator, have you solved the chlorine problem? Thanks!

You the best . Thank you

I'm willing to tackle it. I'm changing my pool from a salt system to chlorine. Any idea on how I pick the proper chlorinator? My pool is 36k 18x36. Thanks in advance!

We can't use clear cleaner on new builds. Inspections require the purple primer. Just a heads up. Check your local code!!

Thank you for the video, I need to install a CL200 as my Frogger is done. What fittings did you use from the chlorinator to the PVC?

Awesome video. Makes me feel more comfortable about replacing my aging Pool Frog system. I was looking at the Pentair Rainbow 320. What do you like about thr Hayward?

Good video. Love chlorine feeders, especially the ones with wider hoppers. PLEASE don't put stabilized tabs in skimmers.

Great idea, i like my floating frog. LoL

What about the Aqua Genie skimmer that has a chlorine container for tablets?

Today I wet swimming but the pool had hidden systems!!!!

I ordered the same model adapters but one won’t screw and it says only 2 PVC and the other says Only 1 PVC

Do you install this before or after the pool heater

Why are there threads on the inside of the connection on the chlorinator (brown) and outside of the black connector(s)? I know why there are threads on the outside of the brown but why inside? Thanks

Did you also install a check valve?

No Teflon thread tape and/or thread sealant on the unions?

Can I use bromine in my chlorine feeder?

Can you explain what the FROG that was for when it was working?

Purple is primer yellow is cleaner

no primer?

Well, this product is so expensive and only lasted me for 2 summers. That's 4 months of use. For $170 big ones!?!? No thanx. I'll buy those cheap $50 ones. And Hayward customer service was a joke.

youre using the wrong type of PVC
