I have had similar problems as the OP losing CYA which left me scratching my head for the first couple of months of the season when I first moved to Florida... I was going through a considerable amount of CYA (granular). I try to maintain a level of about 70 ppm, but would find sometimes...

Thank you

Yep I can verify the LEDs work as expected. .

yeah no duh... I also have this thing called a control system that lets you set and read the value.

No one is "Misleading" anyone. .Just a simple question about best configuration on SWG that turned into yet another of the hundreds of chemistry discussions. Who knows.. some people might actually read the original question and not need to be protected...

Yep, so you say...and on the internet everyone is an expert. but still not relevant to the OP question which was a simple: Whats is the best configuration..? No clue as to the relevance of your 24/7 comment other than pontificating.. We all know a VSP is efficient. .. If the IC40 is...

Chris, Yes, I started investigating this last summer which was the first summer after construction of this particular new pool. It seemed to work ok when the pool was started up which was in a cooler season (about NOV of the year)... It maintained chlorine levels ok until I hit last summer...

Yeah I get it, and that's kinda what I'd like to be able to do as well which is my main motivation for a second cell. But it doesn't mean the operating costs are more. I'd like to run either one or two at less than 50% so I'm not replacing continuously. I think my point really was that my...

Yeah your math doesn't work out for me either. In reality the SWG are consumables. The 2nd SWG pays for itself in the sense that the cells have a limited operational life of something like 6 to 10K hours@100%. If you run two at 50% it is going to roughly last as long as having paying for...

And you support this statement how? Yep, everyone is an expert on the internet...

Yep been there done that. 1) My SWG seems to cut out at about 1250 to 1300 RPM as well.. At least that is where the IC40 LEDs indicate inadequate flow. That is presumably the flow at which the internal flow switch shuts off... Is the SWG still generating chlorine just above that...

The suggested approach is to run the Overnight Chlorine Test with the SWG off, then repeat with SWG on..

Nice reference.. Thanks...

Yeah, I suppose it could be. I've never witnessed that. But anything intermittent is hard. I've got a security camera near there.. Maybe I'll point it at the SWG and zoom in and monitor it. .

Good point.. The pool equipment is subjected to full day sun from morning till evening. And it does seem to be blazing hot when working on the equipment. Not hard to put some reflective material in front of it and shield it a little.. I'll give that a try just for grins..
