Can this device reduce pool water to under 4ppm of chlorine, making my pool a reliable source of emergency water?

I think you're better off with boiling your water or with a good carbon filter. There are more methods too.

I never would have considered using pool water as an emergency water source other than for non-potable needs. It looks like if you are smart about it and use this filter or similar you should be OK. Tap water is roughly 1ppm. Personally, I would use another source of water for fresh drinking water and use the pool water for non-potable needs unless things got REALLY BAD!http://modernsurvivalblog.com/preps/drinking-swimming-pool-water-in-an-emergency/

Pool water is an outstanding source of potable water. The water must be distilled prior to drinking it. (The best distillation units are dirt cheap or you can study the online diagrams, following a search engine query, & do it yourself).

I don't think so - I'm using it with a 1900 gallon pool and yours is about 5000 gallons - I run it about 3 hours per day in the summer to generate enough chlorine.

Not directly. However, the chlorinatior will not be working because the board will see the flow switch not working and will not produce chlorine.

The chlorine you add burns off anyways so there is no issue of using the generator. I startedmid season a couple years ago and love the thing. mmy only other suggestion is to make sure you get the salt level right at 3000 parts per million don't go higher than that or it will taste salty. make sure you know how many gallons are in the pool and then go to a pool supply place and have them do the calculations for how much salt you'll need

Yes . I have a salt water pool and this thing is the single best device I ever bought for my pool..still ticking

I would rather fill my pool with water, personally... Joking aside: if you had no other choice you could probably make it work, but I would not. This is a low-volume high pressure compressor; you want high-volume. For your application, a high-volume low-pressure pump world work great (think pool-toy pump). Good luck.

Yes it will. You may want to dial up the chlorine setting when the pump is on the lower speed.

The system creates chlorine from the salt that you put in the pool. There are copper electrodes of sorts that react somehow, and it works! We used ours the last 2 summers and it worked just fine with regular rinsing/flushing. I cleaned them this spring with vinegar, and put it together and turned it on. Money well spent.

It may (or may not) reduce it some, but it is not certified for that use and should not be relied upon for that. If you have a radium issue in your water, I would address it with a system designed for that specific issue. If you have water test results, we would be happy to go though it with you and determine the best approach for your specific water problems. 602abcWATER Will.

I don't know. I removed it as it doesn't do a good job of distributing the chlorine. Chlorine need to diseminate down to be eftective and get distributed. With this you'd have to have something stirring the water

We put in a Hayward chlorinator. It goes near the pump and controls how fast the tablets disolve. (our pool was originally salt water, so we needed to add this). If you don't want to add the chlorinator, they can go into the skimmer, but they will disolve more quickly that way and the amount released into the pool won't be controlled. The chlorinator was about $50-$60. so in the long run, probably worth it.

It lowers the usage. I still shock pool oncr a week and use chlorine tablets as well.

Your pool is 37000 gallons so you could use ic40. Ic60 would also be fine on a lower setting giving you more power if needing to shock chlorinate. So you need the pentair power unit and either the ic40 or ic60 cell.

As soon as you get the salt level in your pool to the specs this will produce chlorine. You will have to monitor it to find the proper amount if time to run unit but it works great. I suggest a chlorine stabilizer you will run the unit less with it. Good luck

I have no idea..i used it in my pool and it worked great..cheap alternative to ph reducer..when i think they are the same product..either way it works ..but you better find out if the state you live in is run by the progressive liberal..they have outlawed it here in oregon..we cant buy it anywhere here..its against the law..were to stupid ..and we WERE a farming state..look to agenda 21 for why..good luck.

Yes just put 2 big tarps under the pool.Also we bought 2 cinder blocks at Home depot.Put one outside and one inside on a bathroom math to protect the pool and you won't need a ladder...Use chlorine shock just a little bit once a week and also balance that you can get from Walmart...The chlorine tablets takes too long time to dissolve...Use a stick for balancing the water and you will see what chemicals you need.I only run the pump 1 time a month for 3 hours or if the water is not clear...You don't need to run it more because it costs power to run...

absolutely not! It is fabulous. It actually balances with your chlorine to get rid of other mineral buildups, cuts the chlorine use in almost half. We use 1 of their tablets to every 3 chlorine in our pool and never have any problems anymore. We used to get areas of green algae around the filter and drain before . I highly recommend it.
