No, I drained the pool in advance of the SWG install, as my calcium hardness levels were at about 800; it had been two years and was time. I literally just did the salt test in the past hour, and I was under the impression that 4000ppm would be too high. If it's not, awesome!!

Well, I finally got my Taylor salt test kit and I tested the salt levels...it reads 4,000 ppm. SMH Lesson learned on using salt test strips. There must have been a higher level of salt straight out of the city water, because I only added 9 bags (360lbs). Based on the test strip reading and...

Will do, thank you!

One other question. Right now I am in the process of dialing in the chemistry post pool drain. Chlorine = added and am currently at 6 CYA = added initially to get to 40 (currently raising it to 70) pH = added MA to and got it dropped to 7.0; currently aerating to slowly increase it Salt = 9...

Awesome!! Thank you so much

OK so the new setup should be as follows? Power - 1/3 Pump - 1/3 SWG - 2/4 Timer - 1/3 Is that correct? My timer is 208/220V

Currently it is setup as follows: Power - 2/4 Pump - 1/3 SWG - 2/4 Timer - 1/3

Here is a pic of the setup. Pump wires are connected to Line side (1/3), CircuPool control is connected to the Load side (2/4). Do they need to be reversed? In other words, pump wires into 2/4 and CircuPool into 1/3?

Thanks @mknauss. One other question: In a previous reply from @proavia, he advised the following: The pump should be wired to the Line side so it gets constant power The SWG should be wired into the Load side so it gets switched power from the timer Place the ON cog so the SWG has power 15-30...

Well, it was a LONG day but I got the SWG installed and my pump plumbing re-designed. For my first time I'd say it turned out pretty nice! Someone had suggested undershooting the salt add-in to start, so last night I added about 2/3 of what the CircuPool Chart stated I needed (that equated to...

Well, this weekend I'll be re-plumbing my pool equipment to install the CircuPool RJ-45. I was taking a look at the manual's guide for adding salt. My pool is just under 15K gallons, which is in between the 14K and 16K that are listed on CP's chart. Assuming my pool has zero salt (I'll be...

It is amazing how positive the vibe is here around SWG. Anywhere else, especially pool companies, seem to try to drive you away from it! Even my dad was against it, haha. He hated his SWG when he had one, said it was too much work and the cells kept going bad. But when he mentioned taking...

Yep, I have an old clock timer from when I first moved into the house (when there was a single speed pump). I added a VS Pentair; pump is powered off the time clock. Plan is to wire the SWG to the time clock using the instructions @proavia shared. As it stands, my plan is to: - Order the...

Any other items/add-ons worth getting?

OK great, thanks!

They do!

Would the RJ-60 be complete overkill for a 15K gal pool? DSP has a $20 upgrade promo (RJ-45 to RJ-60).

So by wiring the Control Module to my old timer (following CircuPool's manual), that will allow me to set the on/off timing for the SWG only? Just set it to start 5 min after the pump and end 5 min before the pump and good to go?

I'm going to give a go at the install myself. I'm not too worried about the re-plumb. I have a couple of ideas, and it'll be easy enough to dry fit the designs before committing and gluing it all up. My main questions are around the electrical. The pool contractor I had asked to give me a...

Any TFP'ers in the Phoenix, AZ area willing to help me with a SWG install? I am about 80% confident I can get the job done. But having never done it before, I worry that if I am not able to get it completed, I'll have an inoperable pool pump/filter until I can get things fixed. My plan would...

I have attached a picture of my current pump/filter plumbing setup. I have circled where I "think" the SW cell would need to be installed. If it's the correct location, it's definitely too tight for a horizontal installation. CircuPool sells a vertical installation kit that might work well...

I have the Pentair 011018 IntelliFlo Variable Speed High Performance Pool Pump, 3 Horsepower, 230 Volt, 1 Phase

I already have a Pentair filter and VS pump. Would these be advisable? IC40 - Pentair Intellichlor Salt Chlorine Generator | 40,000 Gallon Complete System | IC40KIT IntelliConnect - Pentair IntelliConnect Control and Monitoring System | EC-523317

Thanks all. For CircuPool in particular, any major differences between their models (CORE vs RJ PLUS vs EDGE vs Universal)?

So I hired a local company to resurface my pool back in 2017; they did a great job and their trade contractors did excellent work. However, below is the response I got when I asked about getting a SWG installed. Based on some of the other threads I have read, it seems quite common for these...
