    SWG advice - my first post

    Hi OP, I just recently installed a PL7703 60K SWG system on my 22,000 gallon pool. I couldn't be happier. FYI, when I cut through the PVC pipe, I used a corded jigsaw with a fine tooth blade and went slow. Always remember, measure twice and cut once. Practice on a piece of loose pipe first...

    Oversizing a new SWG system

    Thanks Fuldo, perhaps you are right. I will up my chlorine to a higher level. My calculations (via pool math and the cell capacity) show that I am generating 3.4 ppm chlorine gas/day at my current pump run time of 8 hours and SWG at 45%. I can increase my pump time to 9 hours and set the SWG...

    Also, forgot to mention that the temperatures in Northern California have been hot (90-100 F range). So if the SWG can keep up now, it shouldn't have any problems later on.

    Oversizing a new SWG system

    Hi, just a followup. I've installed the PL7703 (60K) system and have been using it for about a week and a half. I like it very much. After installing the unit, I added salt to get to 3600 ppm and CYA to get to 70 ppm. I set the unit for 30% with a pump run time of 6 hours. That only gave me...

    Oversizing a new SWG system

    After carefully recalculating the pool volume, I've come to the conclusion that it is about 22K gallons and not the initial 18K gallons I estimated earlier. I'm glad I ordered the larger 60K capacity SWG. Also, I will try the salt strips since they are already ordered. If the salt test strips...

    Oversizing a new SWG system

    Hi, just to follow up: I order a 60K system (PL7703) Pureline system from Inyopools last Friday. Delivery should be next Monday. Currently my water is at: FC - 4.5 CC - 0.5 PH - 7.8 TA - 150 CH - 160 (wife added water from the water softener to the pool) CYA - 45 I will add liquid chlorine...

    Oversizing a new SWG system

    Inyo just confirmed with the following email: "Hi. Yes, you are able to interchange the different size cells using the same controller."

    Oversizing a new SWG system

    I just emailed Inyo about using a higher capacity salt cell with a lower capacity controller box. I'll let you know what they say when I get their reply. I did notice in their literature that the control unit does let you specify the salt cell (similar to the Hayward unit).

    Oversizing a new SWG system

    Hi, I would like to convert my current chlorine pool to a SWG system. The capacity of the pool is about 18,000 gallons (maximum, it might be a bit lower). I have been using chlorine since we moved into the house 10 years ago. After some research, I think a Pureline system from Inyopools...
