Question 1

If the SWG is plugged in rather than hard wired, what happens if the pump stops operating? Is there a low flow detection that stops the SWG? Could the interruption of water flow damage the unit? View answer

Question 4

does the placement height matter in relation to the height of the filter and or heater inlet and outlet? Some chlorinators state the chlorinator must be higher than the heater filter inlet /outlet. My current tablet feeder is low on the equipment pad and I am looking to convert to a salt water pool. With that in mind, can this chlorinator take the place of my tablet feeder? Thank you View answer
