Thank you @Newdude, I appreciate the confirmation. And @Texas Splash, that's the very same chart I looked at, which was downloaded from their website, and it says 30-50ppm! Very weird! There isn't any date on the document, but on the first page it does show their recent model of SWG, so it...

I just noticed a discrepancy between the CYA level recommendation of Circupool of 30-50 ppm, vs the recommendation of TFP of a CYA of 70-90 for a SWG pool. In the past, I've been following TFP's recommendation, but my CYA level has now fallen over the winter to 40ppm, so I was about to add CYA...

Thank you JoyfulNoise, I am chasened and will do as you recommend! ajw22, thanks for the referral to rdspaguy; now I have a choice and will see which approach works better for me.

Thank you Mdragger88 and ajw22 for your help. Given the ozonator issue, is it recommended to inactivate the ozonator?

I have a 400 gal spa with an ozonator. The spa is reasonably balanced with a pH of 7.6, TA=55, CH=155, CYA of 80. I increased the CYA to that level because of my chlorine problem, but it didn't seem to make a difference. The problem is that I need to put in 8 times the amount of 12% liquid...

Thanks Jim and Allen, I appreciate the information. The Circupool manual says the range is 3000-4500, but doesn't discuss what might occur above that upper limit. Sounds like I'll need to play it save and remove about 1/3 of the water. Ted

I made the tragic error of believing Leslie Pool Supply's measurement of my salt levels as I added salt for use with a newly installed SWG (Core55). Based upon their 3 measurements as I added salt, I should have ended up at a level of 3500ppm. I then bought a salt water meter from Amazon to...

Hi Debbie, The generator should run whenever the pump is on. In fact, the best installation hard wires the power to the chlorine generator directly to the timer that controls the pump cycle. That way, whenever the pump is on, the generator will be also, and even better, you don't have to...
