Being in the pool service business, I have installed many chlorine generators in residential pools. I haven't come across a residential unit that will accomodate more than 40,000 gallons (and I don't necessarily trust the manufacturers' optimistic estimate). I've installed 40K gallon residential units for about $1,500, but it seems you will probably need a larger, commercial unit, which, I've been told, can run $4,000 to $7,000 dollars, but do your homework: you may find an online deal.
What else can I help you with?
Do you know any pool chlorine generators shops in Chicago?
Halogen Pool Supplies & Equipment sells pool chlorine generators in the Chicago area.
How does the saltwater filter produce chlorine?
A saltwater filter uses a process called electrolysis to convert salt into chlorine gas. When the saltwater passes through the filter cell, an electrical current is applied, causing the salt to break down into its chemical components, including chlorine. This chlorine then disinfects the pool water.

Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and salt levels.

Can chlorine generators result in unusually high chlorine readings and can they give false high readings for pH and TA levels?
I can't answer the initial question if chlorine generators give off high chlorine false readings. I have an inline chlorine dispenser and it seems to work just fine for me. But the second part of the question asking if high chlorine will give false readings for pH and TA. I have read that somewhere and I am currently researching to validate that finding.
