For a "typical" chlorine pool owner, what is your routine for chlorinating your pool? Are you manually pouring liquid chlorine into your pool every single day? If not, what do you do?
But how are you adding chlorine? Manually pouring some in as-needed? I feel like this has to be a more efficient way.For 1 year, I tracked my pool pretty frequently during the week each season. Based on that I came up with a schedule that keeps my values in appropriate range. This can vary for each pool due to assorted factors (location, usage, etc). My recommendation would be to track it and see what works for you.
We considered it but all the pool builders in my area are against it saying it causes too many issues. So I'll just stick to chlorine for now. Thanks for the info.If it’s in your budget, a SWCG would be a good choice if you don’t want to manually chlorinate. I plan to eventually switch to one some day when I have to replace something like the pump, etc.
About how much are you adding every other day? I know it will vary by pool/season/etc, but just trying to get a ballpark idea.Now that I've been using a solar cover every day, I have to add chlorine every other day, unless I'm having people over, then I add chlorine no matter what.
They are woefully ignorant. We have thousands of users here that you'd have to pry it out of their cold dead hands, probably 10s of thousands. Its not just overwhelming, its overwhelmingly-overwhelming in favor of the SWG.We considered it but all the pool builders in my area are against it saying it causes too many issues
I talked to probably 5 or 6 different builders and they all said the same thing. It's fine though - I can always switch at some point if I decide to.They are woefully ignorant.

I test twice a week and haven't adjusted the SWG since the end of May, or beginning of June. I forget it's been so long.
Such as?saying it causes too many issues.
Your not alone, I’ve read a similar comment from someone in Southern California.We considered it but all the pool builders in my area are against it saying it causes too many issues. So I'll just stick to chlorine for now. Thanks for the info.
My pool is 33000 gallons. I buy 5 gallon carboys from the local pool store for something around $30 ea. I have a 2 quart pitcher that I use for pouring into the pool. Typically I will add 2 - 4 quarts every other day in the evening. Depends on what my chlorine test reveals. I pour slowly in front of the return leaving at least 30 minutes before the pump turns off for the night.
The most common one I heard was mechanical issues with automatic covers.Such as?
There are several regular members here that have swcg’s & an auto cover @YippeeSkippy is one I knowThe most common one I heard was mechanical issues with automatic covers.
