They can also lower operating and maintenance costs, and minimise inconveniences. But how do you know which one is right for your pool?
As you’d expect there are different types of chlorinators for different types of pools! If you have an in-ground swimming pool your requirements will be different to if you have an above-ground pool.
A common mistake that people make when choosing a unit is forgetting to take into account the size of their pool and assuming that any model will do the job. You need to know approximately how many litres of water your pool takes so you can be sure that your chlorinator will be up for the job.
To determine how many litres of water your pool takes, you can consult your pool manual or measure your pool – length, width and average depth – to calculate the volume in litres. You will need to select a chlorinator that has the appropriate chlorine output for the size, type and level of use that your swimming pool gets.
Another important consideration is whether you need a chlorinator with the ability to keep the cell clear of any build-up on the cell plates. This build-up is a common cause of reduced chlorine production and the pool’s sanitation failing. Most models sold these days are ‘self-cleaning’ as it is a feature well worth having.
The Australian climate can be harsh so take your time, do your homework and get professional advice making your purchase.
You should consider factors such as the quality of the materials used in the cell (electrode) as this is generally the part that will wear out the fastest. So look for cells that use the highest quality materials.
There are a number of option on the market and it’s best to get some expert advice so you choose the right one. Different chlorinators come with different features and Aquamech Services will help you find the perfect fit for your lifestyle. They can also assist with installation which makes life much easier!

Purchased a reconditioned V25 Virgil chlorinator, goes like the clappers. Thanks for the quick turn around so my pool didn’t go green, cheers!
Yesterday I noticed that water was running out of the base of my pool pump. Immediately I recalled the excellent service that I had received from Aquamech Services some six years ago when I had a similar problem. I uncoupled the unit and took it to Aquamech Sevices where the problem was quickly assessed and I was informed that it could be fixed within the next few days. Noticing that I was a bit concerned about have a few days without an operating pool, they loaned me a unit free of charge. The quality of the repair six years ago was excellent. I am very confident that any repairs carried out by Aquamech will be first class at a reasonable price.
