Description of ControlOMatic MegaChlor Saltwater Chlorine Generator For Above Ground Pools Up To 17,000 Gallons

GENERATES CHLORINE FROM SALT – The MegaChlor spa and above ground pool chlorinator produces chlorine using a small amount of ordinary salt (sodium chloride) dissolved in water. Made in the USA, this chlorinator takes the guesswork out of water maintenance. GENTLE ON EYES AND SKIN – The electrolysis process produces chlorine from salt, which naturally softens water for above ground pools and swim spas. The soft, gentle feel makes the MegaChlor a better choice for those with sensitive skin. SIMPLIFIES POOL MAINTENANCE – The self-cleaning reverse polarity system reduces time spent worrying about maintenance, giving you more time to relax and enjoy the clean water. MegaChlor features 10 time-based power levels to fit the chlorine needs of your pool or spa. EASY TO INSTALL AND USE – The MegaChlor plug-and-play system does not require any plumbing or mechanical alterations. The spa and pool chlorinator generates chlorine directly from the electrode when dropped into the main body of water. MADE IN THE USA – All ControlOMatic products are made in the USA and come with a 1-year warranty. The package includes a MegaChlor Control Box, MegaChlor Electrode, 12 VDC Power Supply with 110-240 VAC Input, test strips (salt, free chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness), a card with QR code for Warranty activation and User Manual.

Wow, I love this thing. Even more after 3 years. UPDATE

I have had a hot tub for 20 years now. I have tried everything to get away from harsh chemicals. My latest what Hydrogen Peroxide but I was extremely fussy to use. But this ChlorMaker take salt (I use Dead Sea mineral salts) and turns it into a very mild natural form of chlorine. When you first open the lid you get a little whiff of chlorine smell because its trapped but once in the tub you do not smell it any more. Takes a little time to get it adjusted right but after a few months now I still

Pros
  • Pools, Hot Tubs & Supplies
Cons
  • May not be suitable for pools that are heavily used or in high traffic areas

It’s worth the price

I normally don’t write reviews unless a product is really bad, or extremely exceptional. This product is defiantly the latter! I have been fussing and fighting with chemicals for years with my hot tub.draining and refilling every couple months. With this salt system, you can take all the headache out of caring for your spa. Just adjust the ph every now and then. My water stays crystal clear and I only change it twice a year. My spa is 200 gallons, so I add 3lbs of salt and forget about it. The…

Pros
  • It eliminates the need for dangerous and time-consuming manual chlorination, reducing the risk of injury or illness for pool users
Cons
  • The installation may require specialized tools that most people may not have

Broke down quickly, Customer Support almost nonexistant

I bought a MegaChlor in November 2017. It was in operation until September 2018 in my hot tub.I’ve been disappointed with the product and especially the customer service. My unit stopped working after 10 months. I attempted to disassemble it as they recommend but the plastic cell would not unscrew without the plastic itself just flaking away. The submersible cord is brittle and discolored after the 10 months.All of that I can excuse, but the customer service has been beyond irritating. Call…

Pros
  • MegaChlor DO
Cons
  • Can cause corrosion in certain pool components, such as the ladder

Works good for 16x32 Intex above ground pool.

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…

Pros
  • Chemicals & Water Testing Products
Cons
  • The product is not suitable for those with sensitive skin

Works great. Wiring not for everyone.

We are competent at electric wiring so I pulled a 220v line with a 110v style plug off the control panel of the spa and plugged this little guy in. Wow. Works great. I replaced our ozonator as well and with that and this saltwater system the water in our tub is way better than it ever was. It’s really easy to pull power from your spa control panel this way the transformer plug stays warm and dry inside your spa. Don’t listen to other quacks on the reviews that spent a fortune with all this…

Pros
  • It is backed by a comprehensive warranty and quality assurance program, ensuring that users can rely on the system for years to come
Cons
  • The product may not be very effective in high pH levels

I've had this product for many years and am just now replacing the whole assembly. Works very well for us. We have four elements that we swap out and all but one of the elements the quality control stinks.UPDATE: The new unit seems to work better than my original unit.

Pros
  • The MegaChlor is easy to use and can be set up and running in just a few minutes, providing hassle-free pool sanitation and upkeep
Cons
  • The unit may cause damage to the pool liner

Convenient Saltwater Chlorine Generation

Pretty easy placement and setup for this. Mount control unit in a water proof area, plug in to a GFCI outlet and set your intensity needed. I hung the cell over the wall just off the bottom near the inlet jet. Bring up salt level until red light changes to blue. Pool is sparkling clear with hardly any attention. All you need to do on occasion is check clorine level and adjust controller.

Pros
  • It offers flexible and customizable settings, allowing pool owners to adjust the system to their specific needs and preferences
Cons
  • The product may not be as effective in maintaining chlorine levels as other systems

Very easy to use! - my new review

I bought the salt chlorinator for my 12x20 above ground rectangular pool. Very simple to use. Just drop it in the water. Didn’t have to add to hoses or connectors. Different model from what I have used before. Old model is not carried by Ebay anymore. Crystal clear water! Very happy with my purchase, though I wish it was a bit cheaper.

Pros
  • The ControlOMatic MegaChlor is a highly efficient chlorine generator that is perfect for maintaining above ground pools up to 17,000 gallons
Cons
  • May not be suitable for colder regions with freezing temperatures
