Why is my chlorine feeder leaking water?
The main problem that pool owners encounter is leaking because of a worn O-ring in the lid. The unit can clog with scale, but it won’t if you regularly clean it. Clogs can also occur in the control valve when you vacuum the pool, and airlocks can develop inside the cartridge.
Why is my chlorine feeder not working?
Air that has entered the system elsewhere, usually through a leaky O-ring in the pump, may be trapped in the chlorinator canister and cause an air lock. Restarting the pump with the lid removed and allowing the canister to fill with water and purge the air may restore flow through the system.
What should my chlorine feeder be set at?

Why does my Hayward chlorinator keep leaking water?
This is a common problem with the Hayward Chlorinators. If the O-ring stretches (it will eventually) it will jam up and you will not be able to close the lid tightly and it will leak. This is a big deal for in-line chlorinators because you will not be able to use the filter until it is fixed. Replacing the o-ring is pretty easy.
What’s the difference between Hayward cl220 and cl110 chlorinator?
The Hayward CL110 Chlorinator is a bit different from the CL220 model. This model uses flexible black chlorine feeder hoses to connect the tank to the filter system. From time to time these lines will become brittle and need to be replaced.
