I ran the SWCG 12 hours straight last night and lost 0.2ppm. And another 12 hours today and remained at 3.2ppm FC. Zero CC. I pull the SWCG and it is clean, so I think it isn't producing much. Not sure what's up with it. It will be off for the next 24 hours and I'll see what the real FC lose is...

Thank you for your reply. I just took a look back at last month's notes and I have not added any water for a while and to lose 50% CYA in just over a month would be a serious amount of water. Rainfall for May was 4.5" and I didn't note adding any water for the month and I'm actually up a 1" over...

This pool is still burning through chlorine like me with a bottle of Captain! That's a 1.75 Liter @ 80 proof. I know someone was going to ask for the numbers ;) So, I average 5+ppm loss of Chlorine daily (That's a gallon of 6% bleach). The pool is in the Sun all day and maintaining 85 degrees...

Try running your SWG during the night and checking the FC in the morning. Nothing should be consuming the FC during the evening unless you have a water issue. Mine was rated for about 5ppm for 12 hours at 100% output and it produce 4.6ppm. Keep in mind that 50% output just operates the SWG...

So, it made 4.6ppm of Chlorine last night and bump the ph to 8. It doesn't look like there's an issue with it. Rainy today.

I'm at a loss tonight, I only dropped 1.2ppm today, SWCG off. That a large difference from yesterday's 4.3ppm drop. Started at 8am with 3.2ppm, adding 1/2 Gal 10% this morning to get it to 7.4 and I ended the day with 6.2. So the only question left is how much chlorine is the SWCG producing. I...

My salt reading of 3500 is the average of what the pool store (3300) and SWCG (3700) says. I'll order the K-1766 Salt Test Kit tonight.

I think my goal tonight is to see how much chlorine the SWCG will produce from 8pm to 8am at 100%. My big question is 4ppm loss per day excessive? It was a sunny almost 90-degree day. If the iChlor was designed for a pool more than 2 1/2 times my size why needing to run it at 80% for 12hrs...

My CYA is between 70-80. There's an image from the "Pool Math" app with all the numbers above. Per the watt reading on the pump and verified with a clamp over meter I'm only using $15 in electricity per month running at 400 watts or 144 kilowatts per month (400wattsx12hrsx30days@$0.11perKw)...

It's been a while since but I'm back. Fell victim to the Pool Store testing for a couple of years but I've come to my senses. I have an issue with daily chlorine loss of 4ppm. I SLAM'd the pool a couple of weeks ago and last night's chlorine loss was 0. I'm running a 12,000 pool with an...

Here's a couple, have the lights face away from the house, make sure there LED, and maybe add a led bubbler to the splash pad. Questions: why 7' deep? No loveseat in deepened? Cost?
