    Does a SWG require a certain amount of GPM flow to generate chlorine?

    Thank you...it's a Hayward gas heater I think 250btu..don't remember...but it only works on the high speed. It has even shut down when we were overdue for a backwash so it's pretty sensitive about the flow. The low speed is super quiet and has a very low flow so I don't think it would be enough...

    Does a SWG require a certain amount of GPM flow to generate chlorine?

    Thank you. I don't have one to try. If it's likely that I won't be able to run it on the low speed then I wouldn't consider converting to one.

    Does a SWG require a certain amount of GPM flow to generate chlorine?

    Thank you for the info. I currently do not have a SWG but there's always someone trying to talk me into converting for 2 reasons...water feel and cost savings. I have a TriStar 2 speed 1 hp pump that is rated 1.85 hp. Once my pool is up and running i generally run the system on low speed...so...

    Does a SWG require a certain amount of GPM flow to generate chlorine?

    I have a dual speed pool pump and in order for my hayward heater to work the pump needs to be on high speed. The low speed does not have enough GPM going through and the heater won't turn on. Is it the same with a SWG? Does it take a certain amount of pressure to generate chlorine from the salt...

    Dolphin "Ultra Fine Filter" - can it pick up DE?

    My Nautilus (2010 model) just died but did a pretty good job picking up DE from our ig free-form pool. It used the 2 cartridge filters (loaded underneath like the Premier). We just realized that all these years we never changed the cartridges to the Ultra Fine ones...only used the...
