This would only produce chlorine while the pump is running correct? Is there appx # of hrs/day this should run for an 8500 gallon pool?

Correct, it only produces chlorine as long as there is flow. I have an 11000 gallon pool and mine usually runs 12 hours a day and it does well. The main thing is having the pump run while people are using the pool. This helps the skimmer as well keeps the water moving and mixed well while producing chlorine.

I'm no expert but I thing when you set it to run a certain amount of time it gives you a code ( on the screen) that tells you if the chlorine level is adequate. The manual says more about that and also gives a table of estimated average time needed to run -- I think. Also keep in mind that what's enough today might not be enough tomorrow due to weather, use, etc. Still have to check with strips regularly.

The book will tell you but my 12000 gal pool it has to run 6 hrs. This system has worked great for me. I run the pump for 8 hrs.

You will have to check with the manufacture. The pool I use it on is under 6,000 gallons. For my use it works perfectly.

First of all, are your chems right? Do you ave the correct chlorine and PH levels; did you use an algecide? This is most important. If so, then dump more clarifier in. I usually dump at least double at opening if not more. If you're still having problems, double check that your filter is clean else take a water sample to the local pool store for more help.

It only runs for maybe 2 hrs at the most. Shuts off after the pool is clean. I didn't notice any change in my electricity bill after I got mine.

The chlorine you add burns off anyways so there is no issue of using the generator. I startedmid season a couple years ago and love the thing. mmy only other suggestion is to make sure you get the salt level right at 3000 parts per million don't go higher than that or it will taste salty. make sure you know how many gallons are in the pool and then go to a pool supply place and have them do the calculations for how much salt you'll need

It wont do a darn thing if you don't buy the pump that runs it. The pump is kinda big, and kind of expensive, but its on the shelf at home depot. Once you have both parts, it'll run like a gem. Mine circulates 3000 gallons per hour and its a thousand gallon tank. Makes a whirlpool, sucks in all the algae, by day three the water is crystal clear.

I have never had that problem. How is your salt level? I find that for my pool size I have to run it an hour longer than suggested each day during the hot summer months here in Texas. I also use the brush very thoroughly while the pump is running at least once a week to make sure I don't get any algae growing on the walls or bottom of the pool.

I am using this pump@4 hours per day in a 20x40 pool @33000, with my Polaris cleaner. It works great. Might have to run a little longer in your larger pool.

I used it in a 25000 gal. pool. I worked great in my pool. I'm not real sure how it would work in a hot tub. In my hot tub I throw in a tablespoon of chlorine once a week and that seems to work well. I think they have a smaller model for just hot tubs.

First off make sure you are using good quality stabilized tablets. The control flow setting will have to be adjusted according to the number of hours you run your pump each day. To achieve enough free available chlorine the setting will have to be higher if you only run your pump 8 hrs a day and lower if you run the pump 24/seven.

I suggest to first clean the cell and see if that works. Also unscrew bottom connection to cell and let water drip over ph strip to see if cell is producing chlorine. If not, sounds like you have to replace cell. Manufacturer says 5-7 year life span for cell.

I think but am no expert but it would be to small for that big of a pool. The pump would have to run long to cycle that much water. My pool is smaller. It does run my caretaker 99 cleaning system very well though. My pool is only an 8000 gallon play pool. Running a 1.5hp Wisperflow pump.

We have our pump and chlorine generator into one box and that is on the timer. Pool is 22000 gal filter Hayward not sure on the salt cell

i would say yes. You will need some adapters, eather from intex or from hardware store. As fare as the volume of filtration and chlorine generating system goes this will be big enough. As long as I understand your pool dimension are 18' x 48" deep, round pool. When you set it up it will depend on how many gallons your pool is. (6500- 8500) or so. The pump will run longer the bigger the pool. Yours maybe 4 hours or so. If you get it, take one of the hoses with you to the store I'm sure you can find something to work. Like I seid in another comment there is a lot of stuff on youtube of other people with Good ideas that work. Good luck. And enjoy i would say yes.

We turn it on for 5 hrs daily. Low maintenance. Love it. We had disposable filters before very expensive. We used one a week. This is much more efficient and less costly. Saw no significant increase in electricity. Pool is sparkling clean!!! Good Luck

Pool water would contain way too much chlorine. If you ran it through a filter that is capable of removing chlorine you should be fine.
