Duh, I knew this was de ja vu....I already asked the same question, and got answers...after the heater it is, then! Jeeman

Hi guys, I have bought the RJ-45 and have two potential places to put it....the first is on the line between the filter and heater, which is most convenient. It is closest to the wall, and lowest to the ground. The 2nd place to put it is between the heater and return line into the ground...

So, I bought the Circupool RJ-45...now I am waiting for it to arrive. Where should I put it? In between the filter and the heater, or between the heater and the return? There is more pipe to play with between the filter and heater, but it's also higher (2.5 feet) off the ground....the heater...

Jason, thanks for the reply... Is the RJ-30 the same as the CPSC36? I'm confused, and I think they intentionally try to confuse us. Also, it seems that the Compupool doesn't have a flow sensor or salinity check but I find that hard to believe. Then again, that website with the comparison is...

Ok, I've narrowed down my choice to between the Circupool RJ-45 ($800) and the Intellichlor IC40 ($800). My pump & heater are Pentair, so the IC40 seems like a choice that fits the other appliances. However, the Circupool has many more features, according to this website...

jparr, Your setup looks similar to what mine would be. What percentage do you run yours at? What FC do you maintain? Jeeman

Jason, Thanks for the post. It seems like the RJ 45 may be the way to go, for $100 more, even though I may lose some granularity of output. I don't think that will be a problem with the way the SoCal sun burns my chlorine away! Jeeman

So then, for a 15k gallon pool, is it safe to say that an SWG for 20k gallons can be run about 100% for 3 years, an SWG for 30k gallons can be run at 50% for roughly 5-6 years, and an SWG for 45k gallons can be run at 33% for roughly around 8-9 years? I'm guessing the math doesn't work like...

Strannik, good point. I have the Intelliflo VF, so my runtime is always going to be more than the SWG, so no savings there. BTW, is there a minimum flow that any SWG needs? I always have mine running between 15-17gpm. Jeeman

I know that you want to get an SWG that is about twice the size. My pool is 15k gallons and I'm leaning towards the Circupool RJ-30. But the RJ-45 is just $75 more. So, does that mean I can run the RJ-45 at a lower % and thus a lower wattage? Will the cell last longer than the RJ-30? I know...

How much do you sell Autochlors for (~40k gallon size)? Jeeman

Strannik, Can you please explain the Circupool warranty in a little more detail? What is a pro-rata warranty? Thanks! Jeeman

jparr, I was looking at that unit....very impressive warranty....7 years? Is that for the cell? I mean, am I guaranteed that the cell will work for a whole 7 years? That would be awesome! I might go that route. What is the energy usage on it? Is it a full 220Watts, or 110Watts since you...

Hi guys, I had a question about buying SWGs on ebay...I'm thinking of buying the Pentair Intellichlor IC40 and wanted to know if the 3 year warranty would be honored by them. Thanks! Jeeman

Which brand did you get? How much did you spend? Did you install it yourself? Jeeman
