EcOtab 2021 – Smart Chlorine Feeder – Automatic Pool Chlorinator

An automatic pool chlorinator plugs directly into your pump and filter system and sanitizes the water returning to the pool. Rather than placing the chlorine feeder directly in the pool in a floating chlorinator, for example, an automatic chlorinator dispenses chlorine steadily from outside the pool.

What is an Automatic Pool Chlorinator?

An automatic pool chlorinator is a piece of equipment that automatically dispenses chlorine into your pool. Rather than putting the chlorine directly into your pool using a floating chlorinator or by pouring in liquid chlorine, you would place it into your automatic chlorinator and allow it to dispense at your set rate.

We want to make it clear that this article will focus on automatic chlorinators and not chlorine generators. If you’re researching salt chlorinators or salt chlorine generators, read our full guide on those here.

Note: If you have an above ground pool or want to get an above ground pool, make sure that the pool chlorinator that you buy can be used on an above ground pool. Some automatic chlorinators can be used for both and others are more specific to inground or above ground pools.
