After lugging more jugs of bleach than I can count last year I have zero regrets. I can guarantee I would be regretting not getting one though.

Just to follow up on this thread, i called circupool and the guy i talked to acted like this was almost a non-issue. He said he'd installed his unit as i had, cell barrel unions directly into the 90 degree elbows. The hard copy manual i got with the unit also said this was fine. Not sure what...

Here's braindump on my experience installing an SWG (a lot of this isn't specific to the RJ). Below are the issues i posted about as i went through my install: uprights-for-circupool-cell-install-t41490.html pump-makes-noise-on-hi-when-swg-is-on-and-lo-is-off-t41664.html...

Is there any point to the Circupool "Vector Jet?" I have it installed in my pool, but i am not crazy about it, as it throws off the water circulation which used to spin the water around to the skimmer.

OK, got it. Good to know. Thanks guys. I guess i thought the high salt light was related since it had never been on since i installed it a couple weeks ago, and the results of my last strip test was 3600 (manf recommends 3500). The light isn't on now. May just be a correlation/causation...

Pool School says to put CYA in a sock and then put the sock in the skimmer to dissolve. I did this and later realized in the owner's manual for my Circupool RJ45 it specifically says "DO NOT" add chemicals via skimmer (emphasis theirs). In addition, i noticed a couple times while the CYA was...

I have a circupool rj45. I installed it myself. I have called them twice...once to order the unit, and once with a couple of questions. I talked to a real person quickly, and they were knowledgeable. I can't speak to the unit's long term reliability. I still have to dial in the percentage...

TFP Team: Just a quick update on this issue. I installed the T106M unit in my existing box today. I wired everything up per Ohm's schematic. Everything works perfect now. No noise from the pump on either speed, the SWG works perfectly regardless if the pump is running in high or low speed...

Ohm, you rock man. Thanks a lot. This is a huge help.

Hey Jason...I just hit submit on an order for the T106M assembly was about 80 bucks. Seems like the right way to do this. I really, really appreciate everyone's help with this. I don't know what i would do without this board. I will almost definitely need help getting everything wired...

I will purchase the T106M unit. I may need some help wiring it up. I assume i should then wire the SWG to the remaining existing switch which sounds like it will eventually control if the pump is on or off. Is this assumption correct?

It appears maybe i can buy a T106M mechanism and install it into my existing box: T106M Thoughts?

Here are some more pictures of the wiring. I haven't noticed any issues when running on low. Thanks for everyone's help. I would love to get this thing wired properly. Thanks again.

Jason, thanks for your help. If you watch the video the noise should be pretty apparent. It isn't happening in the video until i turn off the right manual switch in the timer. The noise starts five seconds into the video. It stops again at 18 secs when i turn the swg off at the swg control...

Everything is 240. The timer is an Intermatic T10404R. I confirmed 240 with a meter when i was installing the SWG. The power feed is in the center the pump on the left, SWG on the right.. Here is a link for the timer door label, if you need a picture of the inside door instead, please let me...

TFP Team: I have a strange issue i need help with. I recently did a self-install of a Circupool RJ45. I wired it into the low side of my Intermatic timer. Now when i run my pump on Hi, and the low switch on the timer box is off, the pump makes a strange noise. The noise doesn't occur if i...

TFP Team: I completed the install of my circupool rj45. Everything looks good, but i realized after i had finished that i didn't follow the directions exactly. In the following picture from the manual, it shows the cell barrel unions should run into at least a six inch length of straight...

Great...thanks again everyone. This is a huge help.

You guys are a huge help. The only small concern I have regarding Sean's recommendation is I have heard it is a best practice to have x amount of straight run before the SWG, though the manual doesn't address this. Thoughts?

I don't think the cell can be installed that way for this swg. Some swgs do allow this, but the manual for the circupool doesn't mention it. I guess I can call the company and ask, or maybe someone knows for sure on the board. Here is the cell installation excerpt from the manual:

James, thanks for your patience...I think I get what you are suggesting...how's this look? Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for the feedback. Is this in line with what you are suggesting?

Guys, sorry for the bad art here, but is this what the general recommendation is for cell placement? Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for the info. I never had a good feeling about that stupid check valve. I will install the valve when i install the SWG. Thanks alot for the information.

TFP Team: I recently purchased a CircuPool RJ45. I am going to try installing it myself. I have a concern in that it's recommended to install the cell horizontally, but my return plumbing doesn't lend itself to that. I have linked a couple pics of my return and suction plumbing. I would...

Good info, Thanks a lot Eric.

PanamEric: Thanks again for the point in the right direction. I ended up purchasing the RJ45 as well. Does anyone have their SWG protected by a surge suppressor?

TFP: I am interested in getting a SWG this year. I am currently considering either the CPSC36 or CPSC48. If I buy the kit as listed here: CPSC36 is there anything else i need to buy to complete the install? Ignoring any pipe and/or wire to connect it into the system. Not sure i should...

TFP: Would you guys recommend I get the CPSC36 or CPSC48 for a 20k gal pool? It seems most here recommend upsizing their cell, but the cost difference could pay for the installation of the CPSC36. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot Jason. I will start looking into those three brands.
