Why is my Hayward chlorinator leaking?
The main problem that pool owners encounter is leaking because of a worn O-ring in the lid. The unit can clog with scale, but it won’t if you regularly clean it. Clogs can also occur in the control valve when you vacuum the pool, and airlocks can develop inside the cartridge.
Why does my Hayward pool chlorinator keep leaking?
If your chlorinator gunks up or loses flow it could be from chlorine tablets that have too many fillers in them. We recommend purchasing your chlorine tablets from a pool store – not a big box retailer.
What are the different models of Hayward pool chlorinators?
Clogs and airlocks restrict water flow, and the pool chlorine levels will fall. Hayward offers four chlorinator models–two for in-ground pools and two for above-ground pools. The CL 110 (above-ground) and 220 (in-ground), are designed to be installed in line with the pool circulation system.
What’s the difference between Hayward cl220 and cl110 chlorinator?
The Hayward CL110 Chlorinator is a bit different from the CL220 model. This model uses flexible black chlorine feeder hoses to connect the tank to the filter system. From time to time these lines will become brittle and need to be replaced.
How can I get chlorine out of my Hayward chlorinator?
To clear the valve, remove the lid; take out the chlorine tablets using tongs, and then use the tongs to remove sludge from the bottom of the chlorinator. Remove the screen, and hose it down. An air lock inside the chlorinator can also reduce flow and chlorination.

Where is the flow arrow on Hayward pool chlorinator?
In order for the Hayward CL220 or the CL110 to work right you must have the chlorinator set and installed with the correct direction of flow. On the side of the chlorine feeder you will see an arrow that says, “flow”. This arrow needs to be pointed towards the return side of the swimming pool plumbing.
