I guess I need to update my other thread on my pool leak.
Turns out the liner is bad. All the plumbing has been pressure tested and holds pressure. The liner is 8yrs old, which isn't old I know. Just that we can't keep putting water into the pool off our well. For one it is high iron and if we use the house water then it puts a load on our water softener. At a rate of going down 4" a week it is just way too much.
We are just going to put a whole new liner in and hope with great care we can get 10yrs out of it with no issues.
My question is with a variable speed pump, it is a Hayward Super Pump VS and the SWG. I noticed what when the pump is set to go to a lower flow rate it isn't enough to keep the SWG on.
I take it that the best thing to do is put the SWG on a timer and have it come on when the pump is running at a higher flow rate? Or would it be better to just put them both on the timer?
What I have found out searching for the liner to get replaced, at least here in eastern NC. It is that a lot of businesses no longer mess with liners and only deal with fiberglass pools. Considering the groundwater is high in this area the FG pool sounds like the way to go but we can't afford the $40k it will cost to change it over.
The pool is a 20'x40' with an 8' deep end. No diving board and plastic steps on the side and two skimmers and a light. Also, it is a sand filter. By my calculations, this is about a 31,000-gallon pool.
Thanks
