As always thanks for the info.......

Put in Hayward Aquarite SWCG last April and its working great. Keeping tabs on all the chemicals in the pool : PH, ALK etc. Turned the SWCG down to 10% and still reading 5.0 to 6.0 for FC when testing the water. Water temp is currently 56 degrees and knowing that it stops producing Chlorine...

Thanks for the info........I plan on staying on top of the pool chemistry so hopefully wont need to clean any deposits.......thanks again......

Quick question or two regarding vinegar.....first, my understanding is don't dilute it and second is it necessary to let it soak in the vinegar for a full 24 hours......thanks

Will do.....have watched a couple of videos including one from Hayward on how to do it......thanks

Thanks MK......clears it up......I will also make sure to clean the salt cell as the Hayward guidelines indicate

Put in a Hayward Aquarite SWCG generator with TCELL 940 2 months ago. Its been producing chlorine and functioning fine. Wondering if anyone else has had the issue of the board reading of salt content being different from the Taylor salt test. The board reading has slowly been creeping up. It...

A few things and again thanks for all the advise......yes you can taste salt in the water..........as flynwill stated we get our water from the city of Phoenix....and his numbers are what I found also, which would lend itself to 400 ppm.....also I added 2 drops of the 0718 reagent to get the...

Thanks for the info mknauss........I am glad I addressed this now since I can take care of this next week, since its not being installed till Aprill 11th.......I had no idea our pool salt content was so high......but I guess over the years using the TFP method with liquid chlorine breaking down...

no worries.....just found a gallon of distilled water mixed 2 cups with 2 cups pool water then tested.....its came up 4200 ppm.....my math and chemistry skills are pretty sad, but would that mean more than half the water needs to be replaced in the pool?

would RO water work since we have an RO system in the house or should I use strictly distilled water for the 50/50 test?

forgot to add to mknauss question.......we are installing a Hayward Aquarite 40k system

yes it is.....so I think between the Taylor and strip tests, they are both high.......so as I stated will have to do a drain and refill to get ppm down before SWCG is installed......

just used the test strips and it came in at 7000 ppm.........so I will drain and refill Tested the water from the street before going to the softener and reads 400 ppm also.....so the water softener is ok, it is serviced every year.....its a city of Phoenix issue......thats why we have a RO...

Just tested the pool water again.......this time it came out at 8400 ppm........42 drops used.......the tips dont seem to be clogged and the kit is brand new , since I have had that problem in the past with some reagents......might get the test strips and compare results......my last question...

just tested the fill water.....it came out 400 ppm......

First newdude......yes used the 10 ml line....no havent tested the fill water but will do so.... Poolstored......yes used speedstir.....only use liquid chlorine......5+ years of liquid chlorine and never had to drain the pool......no splashout.....only backwash after vaccuming.....no vaccum to...

Quick question. I am having a SWCG being installed in week and half. I just received the Taylor Sodium Chloride test kit for water salt content. For the heck of it I did a test with our current water......which is clear as a bell. Followed the instructions and ended up putting in 53 drops of...

Got it.......a side note the pool is never in spa mode, we never use it.......thanks mknauss for all your info and help.........will give them all your specs that you advised....and again, really appreciate all the info

That is correct

For some reason Yes they do....in both the pool and the spa.....they rotate......if its 2X, well I guess thats what it will cost.........most of the people on here are much handier than I am, so thats why I prefer going that route.....

Thats why I am going to install a SWCG.....prices are crazy

There is no automation.......I have attached the entire equipment set up........my luck with handymen hasnt been good, so rather do a pool company of some type

So with all the advice I got on here last fall (Nov. of '22), thank you again, I am shopping around for a pool company to install a Hayward Aquarite 40k SWCG since chlorine prices are going nowhere but up. My question is does anyone on here know of a good pool company in the Phoenix area to...

Thanks for all your input..........as far as automation I am not sure....but whatever equipment that is installed in future I will make sure it is Hayward for the reasons you indicated, that is not a problem. I will shop around and find the most trustworthy and reasonably priced person around...

Havent been on the forum in quite awhile, actually thanks to this site. Have been using the TFP method for 6 years and never changed our water and the water has been great. Well, the price of chlorine this past summer has me wanting to have an SWCG installed for next spring and summer. the...

Thanks for all the info everyone.......no replys needed......

Yes, we use soft water for the fill or make up water......

CH is 320........
