I have read two reports here about failed lids on the "specialized" chlorinator lids. I ordered Eric's system approximately 2 years ago. I fell his statements on his website about a patented device. I did not realize his chlorinator is nothing more than a pool chlorinator and should never be subjected to well pump pressures. I have followed his advice listed on his cd for maintenance in changing O-rings and adding salt. About a month ago, the lid on the chlorinator cracked and flooded my basement. Luckily, I had ordered a new O-ring to replace in my system, and for some reason, Eric had sent a new lid. It was never requested. I replaced the lid and it failed less than one month of in sevice time. Yes, the system pressure was maintain less than the recommended 45 psi listed in his instructions. Unfortunately, this time, the whole top blew off, creating a bigger flood.
I did contact him before I ever bought this system to ask questions about installing it in a basement since I live in Michigan and it could not be installed outside. I have the emails in which he responded that is was ok to install in the basement and have it routed to my sump to be pumped to my septic system.
If you are fortunate enough to find this report before purchasing, you are lucky. Find another system designed for home use and well system pressure...not some regular pool chlorinator that will most certainly fail.
