Swimming Pool Hayward Chlorine Feeder does not dispense Chlorine. Steps?

I have a Haward Auto Chlorine Feeder that is not working properly. It was working before and when the chlorine tabs finished and I replaced new ones... now Chlorine does not dispense. This is for an In-Ground Pool. Then now I did this

1. Close the sand filter
2. reset the control valve on the Hayward Auto chlorine feeder to 0 [Zero]
3. Start back the sand filter
4. wait for 1 min and then slowly turn the valve back to 1 then to 2 and then to 3.5 [max is 5] ususally I set it to 3.5... and the 12 Chlorine tabs are 3.5 inch last about nearly 8-9 days ... if it rains then I increase it.
5. Waited for nearly for 1 hour but still no go.
6. This is about less than a year old.

Do I need to add water to the auto chlorine feeder? Am I doing something wrong? Advise. Thanks... I might have missed a step or did a step differently. Any ideas?

If you are using trichlor in your feeder, check your cyanuric acid levels as they may be too high. This type of feeder is only meant for occasional use like if you went on vacation. If your cya level is above 100ppm, drain off some water, like 1/2 and retest. It is quite amazing that each pound of trichlor, about 2-3" tabs will raise your cya 7ppm per 10,000 gallons. That is on a 15,000 gallon pool you are over 100ppm by using a 30# pail of the stuff! If you use calhypo then forget what I just said, but check your Calcium Hardness to be sure.

Solution, use sodium hypochlorite, pool chlorine, and the feeder when you go on vacation.

There is a binder in the tablets that gums up the metering orfice. You need to get to this, it is probably in the valve somewhere. I have had success in opening and closing the valve with the pump on.

If your unit is an inline one it is difficult to establish if there is water flow. Can you remove the tablets, careful you might see chlorine gas, a yellowish color in the unit, best to let it ventilate before removing tabs. If your unit is an off line, (don't open lid) I think it is, then remove the hose connecting to your return line. Turn on pump you should notice water flowing out, if not then you have a blockage in the metering valve.

You're welcome!!

Swimming Pool Vacuum Cleaners

Without cleanliness and maintaining the hygiene of the swimming pool it becomes dirty. Swimming pool vacuum cleaners are excellent equipments and with regular cleaning the pool can be used for longer periods.

Several cleaning tools are freely available in the market but some cleaners are more popular and effective in use compared to the others. Vacuums working with suction action are one of the popular cleaners utilized to vacuum the entire vicinity. Beneath the surface area, the sucking machine not only absorbs water but also drags it to the filter area. Some of them act as good scrubbers, scrubbing against the walls while moving from one place to the other in the area. This useful equipment can absorb the debris found inside but not the larger ones. Large debris might get stuck and spoil the cleaner. Vacuums are the hardest working equipments that keep swimming areas fresh and hygienic to use.

They are available for all types of swimming areas. Some of the few well-known ones are Supa-Vac Venturi Vacuum, Cruiser C400, Hayward Aquabug, Barracuda Topaze. The C400 automatic cleaner is intended for usage for above and in ground pools. The Hayward Aqua Bug never requires emptying or replacing debris bags as it facilitates with the existing filtration system. Topaze cleaner is designed for the clearness of round as well as oval ones. The aim for using machines is to clean the entire vicinity but few devices provide additional facilities and some offers just the basic requirement of simple cleaning.
