Where must automatic chlorinators be installed?

Automatic chlorinators must be installed downstream of the heater to ensure that chlorine is introduced into water that has been adequately heated. This positioning helps to prevent damage to the chlorinator itself, as exposure to the high temperatures of the heater can lead to degradation of certain materials used in the chlorinator. Additionally, by placing the chlorinator downstream, it allows for even distribution of chlorine throughout the pool system after it has been heated, ensuring effective sanitation and water quality maintenance. Installing the chlorinator downstream also allows for the monitoring of chlorine levels in the water after it has gone through the heating process, providing better control over water treatment. Proper installation is essential for both efficiency and safety in maintaining pool water quality.
