How do you effectively clean the chlorine residue out of the chlorinator?

I've never had a large build up of residue with this chlorinator. But about once a year I let it run a couple of days without any chlorine in it to flush out what little bit does build up.

I haven't had it a full season yet, but thus far I don't have any residue. 1 hint, put waterproof clear grease around the o-ring and the threads of the cap.

I have not tried to clean mine yet. The residue is glue from the tablets. The problem is that glue residue usually requires a petro product to remove it. It cannot be cleaned still hooked to the pool, it will have to be flushed real good.

I used the sponge that came inside the container. Initially the sponge became very saturated with the cleaning solution. I soon discovered that rinsing the sponge with water solved that problem. After applying I used a clean cloth to remove residue and shine. Hope this helps.

I have only used this unit to extract oil and tranny fuel, as far as cleaning I just used the vacuum to clean it. What ever residue that was left in the tube I just left it. My best guess would be to used a dishsoap water solution such as Dawn. Run it thourgh a couple of times, then let it dry. By the way I love this thing.

You can use Stress Coat to remove the chlorine from your water. Make sure you have a way to test your water. If the ph is too low, you can add a small amount of baking soda to raise it. If the ph is too high you need to buy "Ph Down" in order to lower it. If everything else on your test strips is okay, (and your water temperatures are okay) that's all you need to do.

The owner's manual I have says to remove it after each cleaning cycle, which is about 4 hours. I suppose that it will last longer if one does that, since chlorine water causes everything it touches to deteriorate over time ....

I recommend the manufacturer filters and I think they offer several options. I use the carbon filter to knock out the chlorine primarily

there are chlorine tablets you can use i forgot the name. but most of the time we would just drop a cup of bleach in and it would keep the water clear.

Dawn power dissolver is a stainless steel cleaner. I don't know how well cascade plastic booster cleaning additive will do in this respect honestly. I just don't know. If you're really stumped on how to best clean it. Call your most reputable plumber and ask them. I also might suggest however to try to clean any solid tomato waste the best you can and then get hydrogen peroxide to clean it since it would be super cheap and dissolve most solid junk leftover. If that doesn't work. You could try that rust & lime remover that Walgreens carries from that Tv infomercial too. Hope this helps.

First off test the water for proper salt content. If it's ok, then your "fins" in the chlorinator are the problem. You'll have to disconnect and remove the section with the fins. Soak it in muriatic acid or vineager to remove the white build up. Rinse with plain water and reconnect the section. Should work like New.

I don't know. I removed it as it doesn't do a good job of distributing the chlorine. Chlorine need to diseminate down to be eftective and get distributed. With this you'd have to have something stirring the water

I clean mine in hot water and use pipe cleaners, but there's a cleaning kit. Try replacing the power supply, that's what failed on my pump.

I periodically clean mine by soaking in baking soda and hot water, it takes the residue off, then wash in hot soapy water, rinse and let dry. You may have to take a Q-tip or a pipe cleaner if there is stubborn reside.
