If the hypochlorinator is operating properly but no chlorine is present in the pool water, what could be the issue?

The situation described involves a hypochlorinator that is functioning correctly yet failing to deliver chlorine into the pool water. Understanding this scenario requires examining the various potential issues that could prevent chlorine from entering the pool system.

When the hypochlorinator is operating, it should effectively inject chlorine into the water. If there is an absence of chlorine in the pool, it indicates that while the system is running, the correct delivery of chlorine is not being achieved.

The possibility that the hypochlorinator tubing may be damaged is significant; if there are any leaks or blockages within the tubing, chlorine may not be effectively transported to the injection point, leaving the pool water untreated.

An empty liquid chlorine storage vat is another critical factor. If the source of chlorine is depleted, even a well-functioning hypochlorinator cannot remedy the situation, as there would be no chlorine available to inject.

Lastly, if the injection fitting is clogged, it obstructs the flow of chlorine into the pool, regardless of the operational status of the pump. Blockages can be caused by buildup of inorganic materials or other obstructions that impede the normal operation of chlorine delivery.

Each of these problems can independently interrupt the chlorine delivery process, leading to the lack of chlorine
