We just bought and installed a used chlorine injection system. The previous owner told us that in the chlorine tank they always used 2gallons of chlorine to about 18 gallons of water. We have had it installed for about a week now and the chlorine tank has been going down, but we cannot detect any chlorine whatsoever in the water. We even took a sample to our local pool supply store and they did not detect the presence of any chlorine either. We know that the chlorine is being injected as when the well pump comes on and the injection pump comes on, we see the chlorine line pulsating. Yesterday we even added an additional 2.5 gallons of chlorine, making it approximately 4.5 gallons, and still cannot detect any chlorine! We have a 5 hp well pump that pumps about 30 gallons per minute and have the chlorine pump set at 80. Does anyone have any ideas about why we still cannot detect any chlorine? Thanks in advance!
