Just purchased a Krystal Clear SWG Model CS7110

[azhiker71]

My set up is a Seaview Club 15' x 42" Round Porthole Pool by heritage. I didn't install the wall filter that came with it. Instead, I made modifications to the wall of the pool to be compatible with Intex Pumps and SWG. All adapters from my local pool supply.

I owned a SWG from Intex in the past, and we loved it, no having to add chemicals the whole summer was just amazing. However, that one I purchased a few years back didn't come with the Copper electrodes, the Model I just purchased CS7110 does.

I liked the way my old one performed. Didn't need the Copper electrodes, my pool was sparkling clean the 3 summers we had it. So I will disconnect and remove the copper electrodes and continue to run it as I have. 4 hours a day.

I really don't want to run the risk of my pool liner to be stained or my wife's hair to turn a light shade of green.

I will continue to post updates as I disconnect them and watch the SWG performance.

Welcome to tfp, azhiker71

You can remove them, but most people just disconnect the electrical connection to the copper electrodes. The intex with the copper has about half the FC output of the old cell that did not have the copper, so you may have to run longer.

Thanks for the input Mod.

I am tempted to return the model I bought 54605EG, which has the copper ionization for the model that just has the electrolytic cell. (54601EG)

54601EG max chlorine output is 12 g/h vs 54605EG 5 g/h.

I as far a I know, the 54601 (CS8110) also has the copper stage but according to intex site has 12 g/hr http://www.intexcorp.com/faq/3303.pdf. I have the CS8110 and it has the copper.
