    Chlorine Generator Requires Pump to Run at 2500+ RPM

    Sure thing 1000 RPM - 0 PSI 1250 RPM - 1 PSI 1500 RPM - 3 PSI 1750 RPM - 5 PSI 2000 RPM - 8 PSI 2250 RPM - 10 PSI 2500 RPM - 12 PSI 2750 RPM - 15 PSI 3000 RPM - 17 PSI 3250 RPM - 19 PSI 3450 RPM - 22 PSI I've also posted pictures of the entire set up in the thread as well.

    Chlorine Generator Requires Pump to Run at 2500+ RPM

    Sure thing here are the PSI readings (gauge on top of the filter) at 250 RPM increments 1000 RPM - 0 PSI 1250 RPM - 1 PSI 1500 RPM - 3 PSI 1750 RPM - 5 PSI 2000 RPM - 8 PSI 2250 RPM - 10 PSI 2500 RPM - 12 PSI 2750 RPM - 15 PSI 3000 RPM - 17 PSI 3250 RPM - 19 PSI 3450 RPM - 22 PSI Pictures of...

    Chlorine Generator Requires Pump to Run at 2500+ RPM

    So I removed the the flap from the check valve and it made little no difference in terms of RPM required to get the mimimim flow for the SCG.

    Chlorine Generator Requires Pump to Run at 2500+ RPM

    Pool is about 15,000 gallons. It’s my first time owning a pool, not sure if that qualifies as a large volume given the size of the pump.

    Chlorine Generator Requires Pump to Run at 2500+ RPM

    Filter pressure varies maybe 10 PSI at the various speeds, at low flows it’s around 5 PSI and going up to 15 when priming or running the pump at high speeds (2500+ RPM)

    Chlorine Generator Requires Pump to Run at 2500+ RPM

    I was thinking about giving this a try as well. Why does the SWG not require a check valve to prevent water from flowing back into the heater? I understand the cell won’t generate chlorine at low/no flow conditions, but the water sitting in the cell when pump stops could flow back into the...

    Chlorine Generator Requires Pump to Run at 2500+ RPM

    Hi folks, new pool owner here. I have been having some trouble with my chlorine generator. To provide the chlorine generator enough flow for it to start working, I need to run my pump at 2500+ RPM. Is this normal? It seems high from what I've researched online. The equipment I have is: Pump...
