I wish I could :-D . My SWCG is installed, but has not been turned on yet. Maybe another member can chime in here. We're just nearing the 30 day mark and plan on dumping in the salt and turning on the SWCG soon.

It seemed long to me too. I'm fairly sure I heard her accurately, since we discussed the fact that it would run for a period of time, then wait until the 3 hour cycle is over to run again. I do question the accuracy of this information, since I've read other non-official information that...

I looked at my Aqua Rite system, and it has no buttons. There is only an on/off switch (actually off/auto/super chlorinate) and a dial. I called Hayward technical support to get more information on how the Aqua Rite worked internally, and they informed me that the Aqua Rite has a 180 minute...

Thanks for feedback. I'm still trying to figure all of this out. So if the pump is already running, when I switch over into spa mode then turn down the SWCG percentage, how do I know when SWCG will start generating chlorine (I could look at the status lights and see when it is generating...

So after a few more hours of searching and reading, it seems that my question regarding the flow switch location of the SWCG has been answered a few times on this forum already: 1. Installation Location of SWG Cell 2. Where to install SWG on pool/spa combo. Schematic included 3. error in spa...

I don't really have a definitive answer yet for how I will use the spa. We've only had it a couple weeks now, but so far, our use has varied widely. For people who manually chlorinate their pool, how do they handle this situation?

My builder has offered to modify the configuration to my liking, so now the question is, what configuration do I want/need? I thought the manual was pretty clear with its recommended configurations, but my builder is suggesting to keep configuration #1, even though I have a pool/spa combination...

I have a couple questions about the Aqua Rite system. We haven't used the system yet, but are planning on starting it up within the next couple weeks. 1. Looking at the Aqua Rite installation manual, the plumbing section indicates that there must be at least a 12" straight pipe run before the...

Thanks, Jason. Sorry, I didn't see your post before I responded. It makes me a little more comfortable, but I don't have a lot of trust in contractors from my previous experiences over the years, so I tend to second-guess everything.

I live in an area with a lot of soil movement (Houston, TX area), as can be seen in the sidewalks and foundations all over the area after the drought last summer, so my main concern after the initial backfill and deck pouring is soil movement. We had the plumbing at the water meter break last...

Builder hasn't been back to see the end result of the plumbing yet, but so far he's ignored my other plumbing concerns without actually looking directly at the issue, which was already covered in dirt. So I'm reaching out to everybody here to see if this is going to be an issue in the long...
