what is the difference between an offline and inline chlorinator?

I think a better word is 'in-line' chlorinator. And of course the only time it will operate is when the pool pump in on. I believe the phrase 'off-line' chlorinator is a misnomer. Hope that helps clear it up for ya.

They make two models. With the inline you have to cut your piping and install it in the line. With the offline there are hoses that tap into your piping. You can get greater flow through the Chlorinator with the offline. With the inline you won't get enough flow if you turn your pump down to save energy. Hope that helps. I converted my inline to an offline. They sell a kit.

Yes for the chlorinator to work all you have to do is add salt, however you still need to balance the Ph and Alkalinity

No this version is for Chlorine removal only. Once you're 100% sure your water authority uses Chloramine, you'll need to call Aquasana directly for the "upgraded" version (Model AQ-4125). Expect to pay more (without any discount, except if you sign up for the auto-refill program) for that version. I notice the Chloramine version is slightly bigger than the regular Chlorine version.

Maybe. The pump matters more. At 15,000 gals you probably have a good pump. Your pump has to be rated at between 1500-4000 GPH in order to use this chlorinator. I bought this system to work with my above ground Intex pool and 2650 GPH Intex sand filter pump so connecting it was a breeze. Adapting this unit to an in ground pool may be difficult, I haven't tried it.

I use it in an outdoor bird bath, replacement pump. Works great. I'm sorry, but I don't know what an "inline" system is.

This and the IC40 is everything you need. Make sure your pool is very large if you are getting the IC-40. You might consider the IC-20 or the IC-15 for smaller pools. Even on the lowest setting the IC-40 over chlorinated my pool. I traded it for a IC-15 after about 30 days. The box should be wired to your timer so it activates with the pump circuit. If directly wired it will stay on constantly. Not an issue because the flow switch keeps the unit not producing Chlorine but the lights etc. are on constant unless the power is removed. Keep your acid level correct and you will get years of great service out of this unit. Other items needed for full install. Waterproof 1/2" 3 wire whip for wiring from the timer to this separate box. #10 Solid Copper Ground wire for bonding of the housing.

I'm afraid I can't figure out what an inline check valve is. It has the tubes/lines to bring in water and take the chlorinated water back out, along with fittings to install these into the chlorinator (where you see the holes in the sides at the bottom, in the photo). The amount of chlorine is regulated by a dial. This sits independently from the various pipes and can be moved around. (The various O-rings are also included.) I can try to answer better--but I'm just a homeowner who does her own pool maintenance, not a pro!

It depends on your application. All three are very similar in performance with the exception of dimension size. The 506158 and 506162 are identical in size whereas the 506160 is different. I use mine inside a PVC sump to discharge rainwater in my backyard. I particularly like the low off level. I was not particularly concerned about the discharge rate. My only gripe is that after about one month of usage I noticed significant rusting around the bolts and case. The 506162 features stainless steel screws, bolts and handle. So this one may be an improvement but only has a 1 year warranty while the other two have two year warranties. So far my pump has worked flawlessly. It is also relatively quiet.

I have a 38,000 gallon pool and previously did not have a automatic inline chlorinator. It was Soooo... much work! My new Hayward CL200 works wonders! I just fill it with 3" tablets, set the flow dial and let it perform it's magic!

I dont know. They sent me the hayward offline model instead of the one showing.

Yes, you absolutely can and should be doing so. If you look at the specifications, the pool filtration process is longer than the chlorination process. On a daily basis the pool filter pump should be running longer than the salt water chlorinator. The water passes through the salt water chlorinator but without the electric charge it is just doing that, passing through.

We put in a Hayward chlorinator. It goes near the pump and controls how fast the tablets disolve. (our pool was originally salt water, so we needed to add this). If you don't want to add the chlorinator, they can go into the skimmer, but they will disolve more quickly that way and the amount released into the pool won't be controlled. The chlorinator was about $50-$60. so in the long run, probably worth it.

http://www.compupoolproducts.com/pdf/CPSC%20Owners%20Manual%20-%20Nth%20America.pdf & as i see you already have a chlorination system with the compu salt system ,but the pentair does come with the wiring instructions here : http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/IntelliChlorElectronicChlorineGenerator520589J.pdf & you might need some piping according to your system configuration , good luck

I don't use that non chlorine brand. I love what I have. I use the leisure time. Brand and its fantastic.

I use them in an inline chlorinator about 6 pieces at a time. They usually last about a week when I am running the filtration for 8 hours a day. If you are using these in a float for a smaller pool I think they would last longer, maybe up to 2 weeks.

They are different. Theres the ACdelco AFS105 and AFS106 ones upstream the other downstream. I don't remember which ones which.

The panel is powered up automatically it only makes chlorine when the pump is running. So if the power went out and then came back on it would generate chlorine the next time the pump ran.
