I have a 48,000 gal. pool. Is there an inline chlorinator that will perform well without having to get one of the $1,000+ units?

This one works great for my pool. I think it would work great for any size pool!!

I've been using the CL220 and now the CL200 for decades on a 25,000 gallon pool. The control dial set at about 2 on the 1-10 scale and it uses less than three 3" tablets a week. Therefore, I would say that this should easily be able to dissolve enough tablets to chlorinate your pool and not require refilling for at least a week. If you have to restock it more often than is convenient, I would think you could put two units in parallel on the return line and take care of your needs for a lot less than $1,000. Hope this helps.

I don't know the max capacity of this unit. My pool is 14,000 gallons & it works great.

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 use THE Wanda the Whale pool vacuum that hooks directly to the filters intake and it works great for my 24ft x52 in intex pool. I would recommend this pump to anyone. goodbye chlorine and paper filters

I don't think so - I'm using it with a 1900 gallon pool and yours is about 5000 gallons - I run it about 3 hours per day in the summer to generate enough chlorine.

Its still running fine... don't remember when I bought it. At least a year ago. I love the system with the boost button. It will turn my pool from zero chlorine to normal overnight. I definitely would buy it again

The Hayward CL200 does require a hook up to PVC pipes. I think it would be fairly easy to install, but I've never done so. I've replaced my chlorinator a couple of times, but never installed one.

The flow sensor is built into the cell, which connects to the control panel. If you are running one of those Intex type pool filet/pump all in one I would suggest upgrading to a sand filter and good strong pump. The system does not to generate a minimum number of gph to chlorinate.

This is a chlorinator, it converts sodium chloride (salt) into chlorine. My 4500 gallon pool requires 120 lbs of salt at the beginning of the season and that's it!! The newer models tell you if its low or too much. I will never go back to chlorine, testing, shocking.......etcetera!!! I'll go without a pool first.

I purchased the custom adapter made just for Intex pools. It was very inexpensive - I think about 8 or 9 dollars. I was very pleased with the quality of the product and how it worked. I spend a fortune on additional chemicals to clear up my algae to no avail. The circulator cleared up my pool so quickly and I haven't had a problem with algae ever since. I absolutely love this product and would highly recommend it. IT even heats my pool for free. What a deal.

i use one for a 10,000 galons pool. it works very well and i have it operate for only half of the time.my guess is that it should work for you. you mat need to install them apart from each other

For a 25,000 gallon pool, I recommend the FNS plus 60.... The 48 would work, why stretch a smaller filter.

I see no reason that a parallel system wouldn't work on a larger pool. And, right now Amazon has these for about $74.00 for the 15,000 gallon model. Intex 120V Krystal Clear Saltwater System CG-28669 with E.C.O. (Electrocatalytic Oxidation) for Above Ground Pools. No ozone, but you really don't need that. You can buy a gross of these for what pool stores want for one of their units. When the cell goes bad, throw the whole thing out and buy a new one. Remember, pool stores are trying to make a years wages in 4 months and need a very large markup.

Hey Tim my pool is 26x18 33,000 GL. The C1200 is overkill for my pool but that's not a bad thing. I went from an old Hayward S200 sand filter to the C1200. Right off the bat I could tell the motor wasn't straining to push the water through the cartridge verses the sand. I think bigger is better in this aspect. I would recommend this filter to anyone.

I have roughly a 18000 gallon pool and it handles it just fine. The important thing is to make sure you are using a matched pump. I have a 1-1/2hp pump.

I recall it was rated for up to 18k gal. I'm using it with an 11k gal pool and it works like a champ.

For my installation I also ordered the Polaris Iq900-Rs Aqualink Upgrade Kit too so I could have full variable speed programming control. I replaced a 10 year old Aqualink and Jandy Stealth 2.0HP pump so I could cut my electricity bill. In my case, dropping the pump speed from the fixed 3750rpm to the variable speed 1750rpm (~one half) dropped the pump power from 2.1kW to 200W. I ended up bumping up the speed setting to get the chlorine generator to work efficiently. Changing the Aqualink controller gave me a lot of flexibility in the power vs flow programming that I wouldn't have had -- I recommend that you change out the controller too. The controller switch took about 2-3 hours. The pump swap took considerably longer because the old Jandy Stealth Pump connections were not the same as the new ones. I had to order a new valve and connectors. All that being said, a friend of mine (different controller and different pump) used some kind of relay system that gave him primitive 3-speed control. IMHO, spending the extra ~$600 to get variable speed and wifi control was worth it. In my case running the pool filter system was 1/3rd of my electricity bill -- changing to flexible variable speed programming saves a ton of money each month that offsets the cost of the controller upgrade.

It depends upon the flow rate of the pump. This device requires a flow rate of 1,500-4,000 gph to work right. If the filter pump you use on your pool is in that range it will work. Then you may need to leave it on longer to get the required amount of Chlorine. To be certain you should check the manufacture specs of the Intex to be sure it will adequately chlorinate that much water.

I'm not a pool expert. But, I would say this pump/filter would be sufficient. I would buy it. Especially knowing the amount of water circulation in my pool after buying my Hayward filter/pump. I would think you would be very satisfied. You will need to buy a stronger vacuum hose and 6- 2" or 2.5" hose clamps! The hoses that come with the pump/filter will connect direct to your factory Intex water inlet valves!!! Terry
