I bought my SWG a few weeks ago but was just able to get it installed on Friday, 4-18-14.
It is currently set to run at 60% with the pump running for 5 hours. After the install I ran it for 2 days and here are the initial results.
Water temp 75
Ph 7.8
FC 5.5
CC 0
TA 110
CYA 85
CH 700 (going to check this one again this week as the highest previous reading was 600)
The install was tricky as I didn't want to have to redo half my plumbing and valves. The PB left no rom to work with in ragrds to the pipe after the return valves so I spent the last several weeks talking to some plumbing guys to get their opinion. The best idea (and the one I used) came from a plumbing supply house near me. They suggested I try an attachment for a drill called a socket saver which allowed me to cut off the existing pipe just above a 2" socket and then continue the run with all 2" pipe. After all was measured and cut, assembly was rather simple except for the fact I cut one I piece 1/4" too short which required a cut and splice with a union to get the additional length needed. It not the prettiest job but so far it works like a champ with no leaks since the pump was first turned back on.
I will attempt provide some before and after pictures in another post. I still need to button up the wires I but wanted to wait until I was sure all was working correctly.
