I’m not sure about the signature thing. I thought I had filled out the info about my pool. Is there some other stuff I am missing? Thanks.
Set back with chlorine levels

See mine. If on a phone, turn it sideways, you can see everyone's signature.

Huh. Doesn’t seem to do anything if I turn my phone. I will check on the computer tomorrow and fill it out with more stuff. Thank you.See mine. If on a phone, turn it sideways, you can see everyone's signature.

Only caveat to this is to make sure you don't have phone settings to lock in "portrait" mode and stopping the screen from going into "landscape".
Ok I am showing my age here. Turns out I had it locked and then I had to Google how to get it unlocked. So I’m learning more than just pool stuff here!!
.Problem solved. Was locked. Will fill out my sig later today. Thanks.

Excellent! I only thought of that because I used to keep mine locked
Overall what I have come away with from all this and this thread is that the recommended range for FC shown on equipment, test strips, and by pool stores and pool companies is pretty inaccurate and misleading. Seems like most people run their FC a bit higher for optimal success. Most of the stuff from Hayward I see says stuff like “between 2 and 4”. But from what I’ve experienced that seems a bit too low with 5 or 6 being more appropriate.
i'm learning a lot just following along with this thread. Interested to see how things go with the SLAM and afterwards!
Glad my learning curve has been helpful. The SLAM is done and the water is clear as clear can be. I am a little paranoid now though and haven’t let the FC fall all the way back to the 5 or 6 range, so it turned the SWG back on when the FC hit about 12 this AM. I had four kids in it this afternoon with the FC at 10, and after they were done swimming I cranked the output again to about 80% and have been running the pump. I’m probably overdoing it now but I don’t want another green cloud! Also the pollen this year just keeps coming. It’s crazy. I’m going to let the FC fall a bit now to around 8 over the night and tomorrow and then keep an eye on things for a couple of days.
This is my favorite reason #61 about TFP. Everybody new thinks it’s just them against the world but there are tons of people pulling for them, and just as many following while getting their own answers. Your personal struggle will be there forever to help people over and over down the road. So THANKS Toad.

My FC has drifted down now to 9. Overnight loss last night was 1 FC. That said, I still can’t figure out how to manage my SWG output. So for example if I crank it to 100%, I don’t really know how much chlorine it’s pumping out or if the output is “normal” or not. When I read the manual from Hayward it talks about a “low level stream of chlorine”, but I don’t know what that level is. What I think would be really helpful is to know if I turn it up 100% and leave it for 12 hours, will that bring it up over 10? 12? Will I need to have it at 100% most of the summer if the pool is getting heavily used? I don’t know...I guess only fiddling around and observations and testing will bring answers.

Fill out your signature and we can help with the SWCG output. Need pool volume and SWCG model.

The Low Salt SWCG will create 1 lb of chlorine gas per day.
That will add 0.3 ppm FC to your pool when run at 100% generation for one hour.
So to add 3 ppm FC per day, the unit needs to be run at 100% generation for 10 hours per day. If more than 3 ppm is needed, the pump will need to be run longer.
