Hey all, just completing my research and I notice a lot of pump run time issues with swcg's. I have a 2 speed pump for a 30' (figuring 22000 gal with 54" walls) which I run in low speed 24/7. That is 1/8th hp in low so I figure less than $1.70 or so a day. Does a swcg pump Cl all the time while the pump is running? A lot of the posts have show people over-chlorinating their pools while only running 6 hrs a day. Is this a major concern for cell life? Any other issues I am missing would be greatly appreciated.n I was considering the Compupool CPSC-48...should I reconsider? Maybe downsizing to the xx
Thanks,
Tim
soon to be a LTM

The SWG produces chlorine for the percentage of the time that you have it set to. You shouldn't have any problems.

Very cool then, at 1/8HP I get pretty good flow. Some day I will calculate it and get a timer.
Thanks,
Tim
