Roguegeek, we are neighbors! We live in WC, Ca. and I just had my pool redone about 3-4 years ago also. I’m also looking at a TCell. Getting tired of treating or draining the pool by 1/3 for the CYA!
When you need to replace your SWG you might want to think of a bigger sized one, like the 40k GLX Extended Life. Makes me wonder if your installer is actually qualified and in tune with SWG...
The reason being, and anyone can question this, is that I think I read on this website, that when you size the Tcell it should be 1.5 to 3 times the gallons of your pool. Ie: 22,000 gal x 1.5 = 33,000 TCell, which would be the 40,000 TCell or the Extended Life, 40,000 gal Turbo Cell, that makes 725# of chlorine in lifetime.
Here is the listing of the Hayward TCells and what they produce in chlorine over a lifetime:
Extended Life TurboCell
TCELL940 40,000 gallons 725 lbs.*
Hayward TurboCell
T-CELL-15 40,000 gallons 580 lbs.*
Extended Life TurboCell
TCELL925 25,000 gallons 480 lbs.*
Hayward TurboCell
T-CELL-9 25,000 gallons 385 lbs. *
Hayward TurboCell
T-CELL-3 15,000 gallons 210 lbs. *
Leading Generic Cell
40,000 gallons 145 lbs *
[FONT="]Oversized systems perform better, last longer, and ultimately save money by reducing your pump run times.
Would you you rather run your TCell 9 at 80% with longer run times or 40% or lower with less pump time?
Please advise how everything goes.
