An inline strainer provides a limited amount of filteration (i.e. ASTM 30, 600 µm) preventing harmful particulates from entering the chlorinator. Evidence has shown that without sufficient inline filtering, the chlorinator solenoid is subject to malfunction. | ||
A bypass valve, whose exact purpose is not presently well understood, allows some amount of water flow to return to the pool essentially bypassing all mechanical filtration and chemical treatment. Further investigation of use of this valve is needed. | |||
