Review on ControlOMatic MegaChlor Saltwater Chlorine Generator For Above Ground Pools Up To 17,000 Gallons by Holly Garcia

I use this on our 16' x 32' x54" Intex above-ground soft-side pool. The pool is close to 15,000 gallons. I've had it set up a couple of weeks and the weather has been very hot, but the MegaChlor does the job, keeping the chlorine levels in the "ok" range the whole time. I have it set on maximum output. If I left it a while and got green water I'd probably have to shock it, as there's not much excess for this size pool. It was a little tricky figuring out the controls, but the instructions were clear - I just had to read them!The *best part* is that it operates independently from the filter, so when I know the water is clean and I have the cover on, I can keep the MegaChlor operating without running the pump. The chlorine just rises out of the unit without any water movement needed. Even in a big pool like mine it disperses just fine without the pump running. Also, the power supply reduces the voltage to 12v dc to the unit that goes in the water. So even though I should probably remove it for swimming (and would with kids who can't be trusted to not mess with it), I don't worry about being electrocuted if it's still in the pool with people! Finally, it requires a lower salt concentration than other generators I've owned, so less salt to buy and fool with is a good thing. Handy chart is included for figuring out how much you need for your pool.I'll update if it fails unreasonably, but from my first few weeks' impression, I'm a happy customer!
