    I'm going to switch to SWG, soon

    Yes, everything is clear. But, how can I wire the swcg and command it to start let's say 5 seconds later than the pump? Oh, maybe this can works... I can connect to the timer, using a single line to power the swcg, not a problem. Then I put a surge protector where I connect the swcg. So, when...

    I'm going to switch to SWG, soon

    Oh, hello. So, I understand the step to have the cell running after the pump. I have a timer, of course. But? I have to use a second one or control the IC20? Does the IC20 has any "retard" function? May be useful to know that the pump is below the level of the ground. And the sand filter is...

    Was given a free SWG

    I'll see this, cause I'm curious. Have some questions about the intex 1500 and hope to see some answers here. For the salt.. Some of my neurons are saying one bag for each 1,000 Gals. And bags are 25 kgs (or better, 50 pounds). So, more or less 1 kg/40 Gals? But, I'm not sure about what I'm...

    Mumbling - SWG ?

    Oh, ok. I missed the calculation about the FC due to the CyA level. Ok, so possibly is necessary a bigger SWG. Or more hours of work of the pump. Do you consider SWG a good solution for my situation? I mean, there are any things to consider about tropical environment? Enrico Inviato dal...

    Mumbling - SWG ?

    Hello guys. Im trying to do the job. Added the signature, hope to have listed the important things. My first idea was to move to BBB method. But here, in Panama, seems impossible to find out industrial level bleach. There is only 4% commercial domestic bleach. So, it has no sense to use it due...

    Enrico, i have a pool, in Panama

    Hello guys. Very glad to have found this site/forum. We moved to Panama in 2013 and in 2014 we built the new pool. It is made of "arena", not a single gram of concrete. We are really satisfied and proud of our pool. (let me introduce Mof, Chicco and my wife Patty) Well, why i am here now...
