    Salt Cell died

    This weekend I will buy some powder cl current CYA is 40-50. The instant read zero never changed. The base number read 3200 What was strange was the amp reading read around 20 until the generator kicked on and then would drop down to zero.

    Pumbing and Salt issue

    [attachment=0:xy63wgak]pool filterand pump1.jpg[/attachment:xy63wgak] Take a look at where the booster pump for my polaris draws from just after the filter before the cell.. With the pump off there is still water that passes the pump. So this reduces the percentage of water exposed to the Cell...

    Long swg run times needed

    I reviewed both items in pool school post. I'm going to lower rpm's on pump to about 1200 but leave 23.5 hrs runtime. for an experiment. If no change. next day I'll add a 6lb container of stabilizer (Pool store only source here $38). and give it a week. Thanks for the help.

    SWG Chart/Run Time/Flow rate/ect

    Hey, I like the chart on Google drive. I used it as a starting point to see all the outputs vs pump runtime and %. Basically my thoughts are that moving water is better than still water, so keeping the pool circulating for 24 hours at the lowest possible speed should provide the best...

    SWG Chart/Run Time/Flow rate/ect

    I was wondering if there is a flow chart for SWG. Something like pump RPM's /flow rate/ cell size/ pool size/ runtime/ ===How much clorine converted. and I relize water temp and sun exposure will factor in.
