Swimming pool chemical feeders are designed to make pool owners’ lives a bit less stressful, as chlorinators and chlorine feeders make sanitizing your pool a much simpler chore. Fill the chlorine feeder with chlorine, pick your setting, and it automatically chlorinates your pool.

Erosion Chemical Feeders: In erosion chemical feeders, sticks or tablets of compressed chlorine or bromine are placed in the feeder for release into the pool.

Erosion chemical feeders come in two types: floating chemical feeders and ones that are installed in the filter system.
Floating feeders are filled with chemicals and simply float on the surface of the water, releasing chlorine until they are empty and need to be refilled. These work well for above-ground pools and spas.

Unlike the floating feeders, the installed feeders need a certain amount of pressure to work and have a control dial that controls how much chlorine is released. The chlorine or bromine tablets or sticks are added to a canister where water flows over them, dissolving and spreading chlorine into the pool.

Liquid Chlorine Feeders: The other major type of pool chemical feeders are liquid chlorine feeders (often called liquid chlorinators). These are typically mounted over a vat filled with liquid chlorine, and have their own pump which sends liquid chlorine from the vat into the pool’s plumbing. These feeders have control dials and clocks that are used to set how much chlorine is released into the pool.

Liquid chlorinators are primarily used in commercial pools and are rarely found in residential pools.
