MUST have!
Not a lot of info on this unit anywhere so I will share what I learned from buying this unit. First off for whatever reason that is a black and white picture of the unit, it is actually the same color scheme as the hayward 900 filter holder which was a big deal to me cause I redid my entire pool system and wanted everything to look uniform. Second, the unit comes with the mounting base that IS removable! I spent forever lookin for the unit without the mounting base because I wasnt planning on mounting it, I finally gave up and ordered this one and when I received it realized the mounting base was removable. That was a big deal to me because I didn't want the mounting base floating in the air looking like I'm skipping a step not mounting it, underneath the mounting base has kind of a sleek design making it look it was designed not to be mounted( it was designed for either application). Third, I read a lot of scary things of this unit blowin up or when opened blasts a deadly amount of chlorine in your face, I believe those things happened due to user error. The first thing I do is open c900 filter top or using air vent to relieve pressure on filter holder(no vent on chlorinator,maybe they should have one?), that way there's no pressure built up in the chlorinator then the lid can safely be removed without even a smell of chlorine being noticeable which was a huge relief because I was terrified of it at first. Fourth, you can put as many dissolving tablets in there as you can fit just make sure you use the same tablets don't mix ever because that can cause chemical reaction and potentially blow up(that goes back to the user error section) buy one brand and stick with them. Theres not tray or holder you just simply drop them in. Fifth, screwing and unscrewing the lid could not be any easier, there's a tab you press in and then spin the top to unscrew, when screwing back on keep screwing down until the tab clicks back into place( I was a little skeptical at how easy it was and was concerned I did something wrong, it was just that easy). I have a 15000 gallon pool 15'x30' pretty standard size pool and I keep my chlorinator on level 3. It's been about a week and I went through 3 tabs already. All in all this is a way better alternative then placing tabs in skimmer or floaty thing you have to fish out when you wanna check the tabs. This is an ABSOLUTE must have on ANY pool system there is no better way to chlorinate your pool. I hope this was helpful as these were ALL the questions I could not find an answer to before I made this purchase.
