Jason- All my literature with the Hayward SWG says no power to the SWG unless the pump is running - is that wrong? That was my purpose for the timer to begin with. Are you saying to use the 2nd circuit of the timer to switch L2 to the Intelliflo VS pump. And the 1st circuit to switch L1 to...

Iam converting from a Hayward CL 220 to a Hayward SWG. The CL 220's last union (in the direction of water flo) is to close to another PVC fitting to cut the PVC and sleeve. Is there a product designed to slip in line that will attach directly to the old Hayward Unions? Can you buy just a...

I am converting from pucks to a SWG with a Pentair Intelliflo pump. I want to use the Intermatic P1353ME to provide power to the Intelliflo and the SWG. I have attached a proposed wiring diagram. Tell me what I have wrong Please - :roll:

I just switched from a Hayward CL2002 inline chlorinator to a SWG. Is there a "blank" made to fit in the spot where the Hayward was. Are there small unions of the same size as the Hayward in line so you could make your own blank? Is there any danger in leaving the empty chlorinator in line...

I have put two brand new 2-speed 1 HP Hayward Maxflo II pumps on my 18x36 inground Hayward EC-75 vinyl linerpool this year. I have had no water chemistry problems the pool is crystal clear 7.4PH, 30ppm cya, 110 total alkilinity and has no other issues. The first pump was installed with timer...

I have had a Spa for over 20 years now and had gone through a series of replacement covers that were styrofoam based. I have a large spa - 11 feet by 7 feet that requires a three piece cover. Some had aluminum bracing inside or frames to protect them, but all of them failed at about three or...

Has anyone used an SWG in conjunction with a free standing hot tub? I have an 11 x 8 675 gallon model. Would an SWG work? Or would you recommend a Frog floater for costs? Your thoughts please. Paul

I am considering the switch from 3 inch pucks to an SWG. Having researched and read online as much as I could find, I narrowed my choice to an Autopilot Digital with an over sized generator the 52,000 gallon unit. Does anyone have experience with this unit pro or con? Do you need the full...

Diver - I have been using the Power Powder for years applied through the skimmer without issues. I would say it is safe from an experience viewpoint as opposed to a chemists viewpoint. My only complaint is the toll power powder puts on filtration flow through. That toll is exacted at a time...

The End of the Story - Went home and checked CYA and found it to be 30. Cross checked with neighbor's reagents and took a sample to my local pool store. Still 30 CYA. Added enough conditioner to get to 40, backwashed DE filter and added 8 gallons of chlorine (12%). New numbers FC 18 CC 0 PH...

Thanks frogabog for your thoughts. I have always looked at shocking as a one time event - obviously its my day to learn. I will get the test kit tonight and maintain that 15.00 ppm till I have nuked the little %&*# and get an acceptable CC. Thanks to everyone, Paul

Sorry about the delay - I had to call home and have some one read it off to me. Ingredients: Trichlor-S-triazinetrione 99% Other Ingredients 1% I will make sure and double check my CYA reading tonight when I get home from work. I do not know the model number but I use the Taylor test kit...

I have been using this chlorinator with 3 inch tablets for about nine years. My CYA levels have historically been very static, both per my Taylor test kit (new reagents annually) and my local Leslie's Pool store results. Typically my CYA will slowly deteriorate over a period of two to three...

CYA has been a constant 40 throughout - my charts show I should need a to achieve a FC of 16 which 4 gallons of liquid should achieve (2.475 gallons per 10 ppm increase).
