Why it matters
The Hayward CL200EF Off-Line Chlorinator is an off-line chlorine feeder that dissolves trichlor tablets at a rate set by its dial; its listing gives a 9 lb capacity.
Install it after the filter and any heater so concentrated chlorine doesn't pass through equipment it can corrode. Tablets add stabilizer (CYA), so test it through the season.
The listing gives a weight of 4 pounds.
