Also, there's a significant price difference for the RJ-60+ vs the IC-60, especially when factoring in replacing cells long term: RJ-60+: $1769 (cell replacement $694) IC-60: $2428 (cell replacement $1390) https://www.discountsaltpool.com/Compare-Saltwater-Chlorine-Generator-Systems-for-Pools

I am open to this. I was hoping to do it myself and the circupool seemed doable. I will research if the I60 is doable.

So the blue is the return?

I'm looking at getting the RJ-60+. This is what my set up looks like. I believe the yellow lines show my return flow to the pool. Does that seem correct? If so, would I need to install it right before the 45 (in the bottom right) goes underground? Or is there a better place? Also, I was...

This is helpful. I think I am going to get a tablet in there ASAP to see how long it takes it to dissolve.

My current CYA is 50, not 70. I've had it as high as 70 in the past. So, I have about 10 tablets worth of headroom to get from 50 to 70. I just don't know how quickly I will go through one tablet.

I have someone who can come by 1-2x a week but not more. I figured they could reload the tabs and/or add LC. My feeder would probably hold 6 tabs at a time. I just didn't know how quickly it would go through them.

My 15.6k gallon pool uses 2-3 ppm FC daily this time of year. We are going to be away for several weeks so for the first time in my 3 seasons of pool ownership, I am going to have to bite the bullet and use tablets. We do have an in-line feeder for 3" tablets, but I've just never used it so I...

I just sat down to surf the forum for this kind of information. This is my first full summer with the pool and (as you know) the brutal TX summer showed up this week. Last year (an admittedly MUCH milder summer), I was running a CYA of 50 or 60 and would use 2-3 ppm FC per day. Now I am running...

I've found adding 1.5-2 cups of pool grade DE *really* speeds things along with clearing up my water. The first batch of DE is good for about 8 hours of filter time, then I backwash, and each subsequent batch of DE goes longer and longer. Keep backwashing though. It seems the DE catches what it...

I had a similar thing happen a few weeks ago, despite testing regularly with TFP Pro kit and all numbers being in spec (and always keeping chlorine at the top end of the specified range). This is my first spring with my pool. Here in TX, I think we were just having so many leaves, pollen pods...

$4.60/gal for Pool Essentials 10% at some Wal-Marts in Waco. Stock is dwindling though...

LC at Lowe's just now was $5.98/gallon (Pool Essentials, 10%). Ace Hardware is showing $5.48/gal online (HTH, 10%). I've never found any in Home Depot since I started looking in Aug. (Tried again today.)
