Hello,

I'm wondering, does anyone have any experience with a company called
"Ti Anode Fabricators" aka "Vchlorin"?

They supposedly manufacture salt chlorinator systems and replacement
cells.

Before I send this company any money, I'd like to hear from someone who
has dealt with them. Thanks.

Regards,
Joe

I have no experience with the company you mentioned but I did learn
something recently about salt chlorinator systems recently. I needed some
minor tile repair and I called my trusty repair guy. He used to work for the
company that built my pool and he squirreled away lots of trim tiles. While
he was over, I asked him about salt chlorinator systems in general (having
just forked over about $70 for a 25lb bucket of 3"tabs).

He told me not to get them because the maintenance on all the other pool
components goes sky high. Pumps, Polaris (or whatever pool cleaner you
have), filters, and especially heaters have much shorter life spans in salt
water than they do in regular chlorinated fresh water. He said the money
saved buying salt and the salt chlorinator systems VS Chlorine is more than
offset by the added parts and maintenance of the rest of your pools
components. He told me to just keep buying chlorine tabs.

This is true, I speak from experience. We did it initially for the health
benefits, spring before last, because my husband, once he gets in the pool
he will camp out there for a while, and chlorine is harmful to soak in
(heart). I just do laps and get out, tho.
But, it IS more expensive than chlorine. Some days I wish we didn't even
have the pool.

I've never heard that. What information do you have about chlorine and
heart trouble?

Google and you will see why the salt chlorinators, as well as shower head
filters are gaining in popularity. We found out about this from his doctor,
though.

What did your doctor say?

Whatever you do, don't send Ti Anode Fabricators, or whatever they call
themselves, any money.

As far as I'm concerned, they're lying, cheating *******s.

I recently tried to buy a Vchlorin pool chlorinator cell from them.
According to the terms, delivery was supposed to be in 10 days; yet
three weeks have now elapsed and I have neither the cell nor my money
back.

After receiving my money, they promptly stopped responding to email. I
then called them several times, and all they did was tell lies. They
wouldn't even acknowledge if they had received the money I sent.

I suppose there's a small chance I may still get the part someday, but
as of now, I've given up on them.

BTW I understand that Australian made chlorinators are better than the
ones made in India anyway, so if you're going to buy one, you're
probably better off going to one of the Australian vendors.

Don't send Vchlorin or Ti Anode Fabricators (or whatever they call
themselves) any money. Basically, they're dishonest, unreliable
*******s, to put it charitably.

I tried to buy a salt chlorinator replacement cell from them, and after
I sent them money, they basically stopped responding to my emails. They
failed to deliver the cell
within the time frame they agreed to, and refused to even talk about
it.

As of now, they've had my money for almost two months, yet I still have
no chlorinator cell.

I've been told that the Australian made chlorinators are better than
the ones from India anyway, so even if the people at Vchlorin or
whatever they call themselves weren't the *******s they are, their
products are supposed to be inferior and thus not worth buying on that
fact alone. Consider an Australian vendor like esplash.
