Is it possible to use a chlorine generator designed for an above ground pool in an inground pool?

If the salt generator is rated for the volume of your inground, sure, but with a condition here. I think you’ll find though, that the plumbing connections on it will in all likelyhood be 1 1/4 inch. That’s standard for above grounds. Your inground should have been plumbed 1 1/2. That’s standard for inground return lines as well as at the pool equipment. You’ll be restricting the water flow considerably as your pump motor is also going to be at least a 1 hp, likely. It’s not going to make for as good a filtration as you’ve enjoyed to this point. If that generator has the hook ups that are dual size, accepting 1 1/4 on the IID of the pipe and 1 1/2 on the OD, you’re fine water flow wise. It’ll just depend on the pool volume rating then.
