Went ahead and created a custom schedule to run in the afternoon for about 4 hours. Thank you

I live in Las Vegas and have never had a variable speed pump here in the winter, i have a Pentair VSP with SWCG that I installed last summer, best decision I ever made. I need some advise as to what to set the timer to run as well as times, it is still set to run on the Summer presets but seems...

Hey Jim So the pump wont need to run unless it get to freezing temps? in Vegas it seldom gets that cold, at what temp do I stop running the pump?

Ok guys so I converted to a Sand Filter and SWCG beginning of summer, let me tell you it was the best decision I have ever made with my pool. Maintenance is a breeze now, I bought a robotic vacuum and it runs daily to keep the pool clean. I just have to check levels about once a week and my PH...

Ok guys have an update, I had to make a stop at True Value on W Cheyenne, they have the 31.45% 2-pk 1 gallon for $12 vs Leslie's is $15.99

I live Las Vegas and wondering where is the best priced best quality Acid, have recently upgraded to SWCG and acid is now something I have to monitor, not something I had to do before

would a flow switch work or does that only work with the right kind of pump?

So I currently have my Circupool SJ-55 wired to my old pump timer, I am not to happy with this setup and afraid the pump will turn off and the SWCG will run dry. Can you guys tell me if this swcg generator is even an option to wire to my pump so they run simultaneously Thanks for any advice

Appreciate your response Jim, one more question, I have been noticing online that a sacrificial anode is a must especially with a SWCG, nobody on here has ever mentioned the need to have one installed. Is it necessary to have one?

I recently upgraded my pool system and added a swcg, I specifically went with a sj55 Circupool suggested @mknauss on this forum. It is working great so far zero issues My question is why this brand over the more known brands. A friend of mine has a Hayward that has failed after 3vyears but...

Thank OMW to HD

Thx Mk Any recommendations on the salt and where best to purchase?

Thanks for the reply, I guess im a bit confused, since I am new to the whole SWCG I know that I will need to add salt to the water to get it to 3500 ppm, no?

I am finally complete and now filling my 35k gallon pool, I was initially only going to replace the water since I hadnt done it in 5 years plus I recently upgraded to a variable speed pump and sand filter plus the water was no good for the SWCG. I wanted a fresh start with all new equipment as...

So what's the water changing tip you mentioned

I went ahead and purchased the sj55, found it on eBay for an awesome price

The sand filter is only a few months old, I used to have a cartridge filter that was way too small for this size pool and during the hottest days of the year we did struggle to keep it from turning green

Well I've lived in my home for 5 years and have never done a water change, not sure when the pool was filled prior to buying it, since it was a complete rehab I'd say about a year before that so maybe 6 years, should I just consider a water change since it's been so long?

Ok here it goes FC 2.0 CC. 2.0 pH. 7.5 TA. 90 CH. 850 CYA. 50 Let me know what you think

Awesome, appreciate your response

So are Circupool SWCG preferred for a reason or just a favorite from the forum?

Ok I will check it tomorrow and let you know

I'm not seeing much benefit in paying an extra $400 for 5k more gallons of treatment

So the sj55 is about $875 and I don't see the 60 anywhere, can you point me to it

So this calculator says my pool is about 31k gals, btw it asks for 2 depths so it automatically calculates the average depth

Ok you're right, the SJ55 is for a 55gals pool so in the summer if my pool is in fact 35k gals then I wouldn't have to run it as long

So I am doing some research on different SWCG that are currently on the market, I am seeing this one Hayward Goldline PL-PLUS AquaPlus All-in-One Control and Salt Chlorination System anyone have any experience with this brand, is it any better than the Circupool referenced here

Disregard this until I can verify the shallow end depth, I never checked it and I believe its 4ft deep not 3ft, I will let you know My bad, I didn't see that you average the depth, I though you just put in the depth, so the pool is only 8.5' deep in its deepest end, I thought it was 10' So...
