I finally broke down and made the switch to a SWCG because the availability and climbing price of liquid chlorine was taking away from my enjoyment of the pool.
I bought the Circupool RJ-45 Plus, which is 'sized' for a 45,000 gallong pool. My pool is around 24k gallons, and the increase in price wasn't a lot to go bigger.
Obviously the size of your SWCG vs pool size, how much sun you get, whether you cover the pool or not, CYA levels, how much contamination you get from swimming, weather, etc. all make a difference in chlorine demand......I'm curious: What level do you run your SWCG to maintain chlorine most of the time?
I do keep the solar cover on and assumed I would need to keep the SWCG at about 25% (I run the pump full time) to maintain adequate free chlorine.
I have it set at 5% and am just about at equilibrium for what I need to maintain FC levels where the charts here advise.
